Thanks, but the job is tough and exasperating enough that I'd like to have very fresh boots on there when I get done-- maybe have them last the lifetime of either me (64 now) or the car (only 100,000k). I wish I could use one of the Subaru boots with the 'zip-up" (with 6 screws/ nuts) installation: cut off the old one with snips, wrap the new one around (after cleaning/regreasing) the joint and axle, screw up the side opening and put on the clamps. No un-bolting of the CV, no removal/replacement! ALSO: Is it considered good practice to turn the CVs around-- that is, will it put the wear zone on different parts of the CV, and give it a longer life?? ANY OPINIONS on that??

Q: Why do some guys like BMWs?
A: Because they can spell it.
