That's what I figured.

Just remember the longer axle goes on the passenger side...

It's certainly easier, and less messy to just replace the axle assembly, but likely an unnecessary expense. I've replaced the boots on my Toyota 4x4 many times, and the CV's are still fine @ 185,000 miles. Ditto for the '94 Integra I had.
