The inner one is actually easy compared to the outer boot, do search for the DIY thread.

Always thought the outer is easier.

It's not for the faint of heart, especially if you have limited tools in your box. If the boot is ripped, most likely, the joint is bad or on its way out. Replace the entire half-shaft axle on that side just to be sure. Find a trusted independent mechanic who charges about $85/hour and you'll save a TON of money. Let us know how things work out!

I actually found the left side front on Amazon! EMPI for only $77 shipped. I'm replacing mine soon. I will borrow/rent the special toold to pull the suspension components appart and the one to pull out the axle. From there I will pay someone to re-align the darn thing again (second time in 6 months)
