Spent an hour scraping grease/dirt from the inside of my pansenger side wheel. Found a 1" long gash at the largest diameter of the boot. Replace the boot or the whole thing?

On a positive note, finally installed the painted mirror cover....I gots mad painting skills yo. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

If dave will do it, take it to him. Otherwise, see hadley...

the amount you pay in labor to change the cv boot you can get a whole new axle.

Pulling the axle isn't that hard

Lot's of places that rebuild them will install them and warrant them starting at $90 a side complete.

...on my 2nd front Pass. side axle

Your joint may not be clicking yet, but there could still be some wear, depending on how long your boot has been torn, so just put in a rebuilt drive axle.
Trust me, it's less laborious than just doing a boot.

trick is to get the hub carrier out of the way to remove the axle/CV. Shouldn't be a problem since I've already done my uppers once.
