I kept my old axles and will likely reboot them at my leisure in case one of these new axles fail in any way.

In my case, changing the just the boot was WAY easier than changing the whole axle, as I was unable to remove the CV joint from the hub, but I could (relatively easily) remove the shaft from the joint, while the CV joint was still attached to the hub.
I've done about a dozen CV boots on various cars now and each one has had it's little tricks and problems!
