With replacement axles in the $50-$100 range it hardly pays to mess around with rebuilds and reboots. Repetitive cv boot failures are a fact of life with these cars.

Years ago I played around with a split boot with tiny screws that can be installed with the axle still in place. The closest fit i could find was not close enough and it was a big PIA getting the things to stay in place. I did have some stay on and last a long time but came out with the next bearing change. In retrospect, not worth the effort.
