Meant to post this yesterday...
I replaced my front right cv boot as it had a little hole and was starting to crack pretty bad inside the groves. BTW, I was only able to do this with the great help from this site and I ended up having to heat the axle nut with a torch for a couple seconds cause I couldn't get it to move even with a 4' cheater bar on the breaker bar. What a pain in the ass this was. I highly recommend not doing this without a BIG sledge hammer or axle extraction tool, or it will be difficult. Especially in 35 degree weather
After I got everything back together, I used the hose clamp method to compress the C clip and slide the cv back on. I also got a new front windshield washer pump as my old one stopped working and started leaking. I also soldered some 1000, 35w Electrolytic capacitors to the hid fog light harness to eliminate the annoying check fog lights message (which actually works! As opposed to the resistor method). And finally my gf's dad offered to fill my tank since I was almost at E
