Default 90 CRX Si - Blew CV Joint/Axle boot on drivers side

Just wondering if I could get some advice on this

Any replacement parts I should stay away from/advice?

Thanks

yeah pull the **** out of the axles when you take it out. It is usually a bitch to get them off.

Unbolt the big hub bolt, drop the lower control arm from the strut fork, and you should be able to get the axle out by using a big screwdriver on the tranny side. It should pop right out. An axle change is more worth while to do than a cv joint, its about the same price and its easy to do.

to get it off you need a ball joint press...i would advise if you dont have one then go to kragen and rent it...they rent for free all you have to do is put a down payment...

thanks for the advice...Im going to check it out tonight, im pretty broke so I may be going with a universal boot that a friend of mine has, just try to replace. The axle should still be really good, just the boot exploded...at least I hope
