In Reply to: Thanks for the tips! The shop I had it at wanted to charge me $230 to replace the boot! I said no thanks... nm posted by Jacob on September 17, 2002 at 13:58:25:

Reason being you have to pull the axle, seperate the axle, R&R the boot, re-assemble the axle, then re-install. More work = more labor time. Instead of pulling the axle, then re-installing a new/reman axle
