My drivers side CV boot ('96 SE) got ripped in half, through wear and tear I guess, and I was wondering just how much work is invovled in replaceing the whole CV joint myself. I don't want to replace just the boot because I don't know how long it's been ripped, and how much
crud got in there. Also I've been hearing a whirring noise from that side (at highway speeds)for a month or two now. I've priced a replacement CV joint for about 60$ so it seems cost effective to replace the whole thing. Are there any special tools required? Is it a nightmare task?
