If the boot is all that is bad why don't you just replace the booot? No sense in trashing a good shaft because a boot ripped.

Nobody in there right mind would waste the time to remove the axle to just change the boot. The axle cost less then $60.00. If you know someone you can get them for less then that.

If I were going to change one for the first time, this time of year. I would consider changing both, if they have never been chaged before. Winter is coming. I won't take the chance that the other will make it through Winter. Do you feel like chaning one in say January?
