for you is, how long was the boot open? Does it still have grease in it? Is it making noise? It really makes no difference in work time whether you replace the boot or the whole axle. John is correct about the circlip, but it is soooo much easier to do if the axle is out of the car. And if you buy a set of circlip pliers it helps too. And you have to hold your mouth just like this (:>? Any way, if the outer joint is not damaged replace the boot. If there is ANY doubt, do the axle. Sobstory is great. Also, don't forget to buy one time use nuts before you do the work. You'll need them for the ball joints, the tie rod end and the axle nut. Good luck
