Anyone done CV Boot Boot DIY?

You don't have to stop driving it, I would just minimize your driving and dont blow through any puddles, avoid driving in rain, etc... Personally I would rather put it down until it can be resolved, or you can read in this thread there is a temporary solution I have come up. I used it with good success, kept it clean as a whistle until i had time the other day to pull the axle and replace the boot. $240 for laboer is a very reasonable price. 2 Kits will run you $70 from crevier, your mech prob charge around the same.

The only part that worries me is he can't do the repair until next friday and stated I need to stop driving it due the possibility of damaging the CV joint. I can't go a week without a car...guess I'll figure something out.
