Ufixit page has a guide to doing CV boots. It's actually a link to or a copied page from 4x4wire.com.

"cmason" scribbled some garbage about a problem in news: snipped-for-privacy@localhost.talkaboutautos.com: and Dman answered with his usually drivel in the following manner!
Just did this a couple weeks ago...the easiest and cheapest way is to buy CV boot kits, cost in US 15-20 dollars per side. Just cut them off and replace... OR you could do the way ISUZU set it up...replace the whole axle, thats what all the shops told me was required by the book.
You referring to the type that is open on one side so you can slip it on without removing the axle? Those things are not recommended by very many as it is prone to leak.
You do not have to replace the axle. You do have to remove it though. If you are paying a shop to do it, it is often cheaper to replace the half shaft because the labor is far lower.
