Thanks - good input. Maybe I will just do the boot myself then.
Is this the hub puller you have? Best Price Guarantee on KD Tools 2251 at ToolTopia.com not cheap, is it? This OTC one looks similar in design. I like the idea of attaching directly to the wheel studs - seems to me that is the right way to do it. Amazon.com: OTC 7394 Universal Hub Puller: Home Improvement 4 hours doesn't scare me.

The EMPI boots may be a bit oversized for the OEM axle, if Im remembering correctly. I personally used GKN boots which is identical to the OEM boot on the axleshaft right now. Another option would be running to your local NAPA and picking up a remanufactured axle. I have heard a couple good things about the CARDONE axles from rockauto and Oreilleys. Those too are remans. Aftermarket axles are a hit and miss for me. I've used them on my previous cars and have had good and bad experiences. I wont completely blame the manufacturer because the cars I installed them into were lowered significantly which can put added strain on the axle assembly. Regardless, I dont think it was necessary to have to change the same axle 3 times due to some manufacturer failure. I've had bad experiences, but it doesn't mean everyone else will share the same luck as I have.
