if the rubber boot is torn up, that's basically the indicator that you should just replace the whole axle. the labor involved to replace just one part of it isn't worth it anyways since it's just as much as replacing the whole axle

Re: b series axels ?
Careful though, these are greased axles we use, and if the ring isn't there the centifigul force can sling the grease out of your axle.....a dry axles will eventually break, or cease (then you WILL be replacing the whole axle) Make sure it still has the grease in it, don't just slap a ring on it and hope you are all good....I always say if you're going to do it, might as well do it the right way.
