How hard could it be?  I have heard that the axle has spines.  Pull it out of
the pumpkin.  Take off the old parts.  Lubricate the cv joint.  Put it back
together.  The OE boot is 14 dollars.  The Split boot is 20 bucks.  Is it a huge
hassle to repack vs. a new axle. I've already gotten 5 years out of the first
split boot.  I'd like to do it again and if it's easy enough I'd use an OE
boot.  Lawrence Rhodes.......

Where can you get split boots?  Have you looked at what needs to be done to replace an OEM boot?  Most people opt for a rebuilt axle.  I'd like to get some split boots but I haven't been able to find a source.
