CV Joint boots cracked

[navair]

I did all 4 boots and inner CV's this year myself, and it is a royal PITA, but not technically hard. Pelican kits, pretty cheap.
Easiest is dropping the skidplate, diagonal frames, and exhaust (cats or bypass pipes in my case), then unbolting the CV's at the tranny, tapping out the shafts from the carriers (one needed a bearing puller), and lots uf greasy fun R&R the joints and boots.

I discovered a cracked inner boot on my S two winters back while poking about underneath... it looked like too much greasy fun for me, so my Indy did it when I shlepped the car out in the spring.
Less than $375; parts, labour & taxes and done in under 4 hours.
It would have taken me an entire weekend, almost $100 in parts and CV grease, $100 in tools I didn't have, a few busted knuckles and an overflowing cuss jar.
Wasn't gonna happen to save $175.
I was a bit concerned about how long the boot had been damaged. My Indy found no grit in the CV itself and it's been fine for 2+ summers now, so I'm not expecting any trouble.
