IMO you're better off with getting a reman axle. it's a lot less work messing with the clips and the boots and etc. a decent reman with a good warranty is like maybe close to that kit on ebay.
battery...red top is starting and yellow top is deep cycle. so if you don't run your battery down too often then i would get the red top.

get a new axle, no point in screwing around with rebuilts.
you can get a complete axle for the price of those joints.

alright back with a red top. I have left my lights on and killed the battery so many times it took a 24 volt jump to start it. plus i have a 1000 watt draw stereo wise with no capacitor. lights dimmed slightly. as for whole axle. that site posted only has cv axles. ty for info
CV axle = complete axle.
CV stands for Constant Velocity
one of these days I'll put up pictures of the axles

those aren't exact pics, just basic cample pics.

You get "experience" by doing the work yourself..
Dude those on ebay seem kinda pricey for just that, like Danny said get the whole assembly remanufactured, you're better off. You can probably get it from like Idiotzone or something with lifetime warranty in case you mess them up in the future. Or you can save money and get em from Brian, 57 bucks! Cant wrong with that! Plus you can pick them up from him personally in Chicago and I'll help you put em in so you can learn a thing or 2.
As for the battery question, get the red top its cheaper and pretty good. I got a Red75-35 which I believe is like 800cca (I think Maximas require minimum 525cca) or something like that and I also have an Amp with subwoofers and I've left my car off for over 5 hours blasting music and it turns on like nothing but then again my alternator is brand new. If yours is bad just get one from Brian and we'll put it on too lol

ugh axle seals, make sure someone helps you with those lol

Since you openly admitted to leaving your lights on many times in the past, hopefully this habit has changed because your red top is not a deep cycle and you'll be complaining about Optima the same way you did about Die Hard.
for him to jump with 24V you would need to go + to - from the two batteries and pull one + from one battery and pull - from the other battery...no offense to him but i highly doubt he was going to do all that to jump the car.
IMO the weakest link is the jumper cables when you're jumping a battery.

My thought was maybe he was using a battery charger that has the capability to jump 24v. We have battery chargers at work that can put out 24v, 18v, 12v and 6v all in one single unit.
I also never knew CV joint ends can be purchased like this.
