Hi there,

you must dismantle part of the steering and suspension and brakes to access the drive shaft for removal to install new boots, The shafts often have to be dismantled and inspected for internal ware and damage. Now to do this work there are a number of tools that the average backyard mechanic normality wont have. If you feel that you are capable of doing this work, re post or IM for more infomation.
