Thanks for the description!

I'm going to first attempt the boot kit, since it's significantly less than a rebuilt axle... the boot is torn, but I don't think it's been that way for long. I'm going to take my chances and repack the CV, but I'm not going to drive it until that's done.

Two final questions: Haynes says to soak the joint in "solvent" to remove the grease. Would rubbing alchohol work for this? Or is there something special I should use?

Also, when reassembling the hub and CV joint, Haynes says to use a bead of "metal adhesive" on the CV joint splines. Would Lok-Tite be what they are talking about?

Thanks again, you'll probably get an email or two from me during the job.
