I have a torn CV boot. What is the best way to fix it?
Buy a remanufactured axle. Remove the large CV boot clamp just to the outside of the innermost bearing. Pull the inner joint apart, and when you get the new axle, do the same thing, and install the new half shaft and replace the clamp. This is the easiest way to do it, and you will still replace all the wearable parts of the axle.
