My unsolicited advice is to replace the entire axle, they cost approximately $100. Taking out the entire axle and replacing it is actually a fairly easy job, under an hour once you've done it. To replace just the boot,you then have to take out the outer CV joint which is a filthy job that requires special tools. Once you pay for the outer boot the grease and other little bits, you will probably spend $25-$50. I'd pay $100 all day for a new one that only has to be bolted in. Also, if it's a high mileage axle, you run the risk that it will go bad in the near future and you have to replace it anyway.
