I had a torn outer boot and read all of the various postings on how to replace it. After some deliberation I decided to try what I thought would be the easiest method, and it worked! Removing the caliper, hanging it from a bungee cord off the spring, removing the strut bolts the lower control arm, and removing the inner boot clamps, I had the triple bearing out in no time. My bearing was held in by a circlamp without any holes to get a grip on, so getting that out took a little more time. Then hammering off the triple bearing was fussy, but didn't take more than about 10 minutes. So old boots off, new outer boot on, with grease in both, and back together. Going very carefully, it took me about 2 hours. The other side, when I do it (not torn yet), will be much faster. Thanks for the great advice from everyone.
