I can't say for sure how long it's been torn (in two at this point). 8,400 miles/7 years old, BTW. The tear looks
somewhat fresh because the newly exposed edges are "clean". Grease has been flung but not excessive - it tore at the narrowest part of the shaft, not a typical bellows area. The CV joint remains well gooped up.
At any rate, I'm replacing all of the boots.
How much of a PITA is it?
Any tips or pointers?
Thanks in advance.
PS - I know you're never done with these cars but I swear I had that feeling for a few weeks
