Default C.V. Boot replacement difficulty?

Hey everyone, I have owned my newest prelude for a little over a year now and still haven't replaced the C.V. boots. They are in really bad shape and have been for who knows how long! I know enough about preludes to keep up with it, but I don't know if this is somethin I want to do myself. I was wonderin what the difficulty of this would be as well as a COMPLETE list of the stuff I need to buy. Thanks!

If theyv been torn for a long time, youre most likely gonna have to replace the cv joints too.

I would recommend you just replace the whole axle. Autozone has rebuilt Prelude axles for $70 each with a $60 core charge.

very easy. the only hard thing you have to deal with is getting the axle nut off. after that, it's gravy.
