replacing torn CV boot
The end links in my 92 have failed, unbeknownst to me. The passenger side CV boot has been torn by the remnants of the end link.
Is there a write up or install guide for replacing CV boots?

I don't know about actually replacing the boots, but I do know that most parts stores have a boot repair kit (if the jonts themselves ain't shot already). Comes with a replacement, wrap-around boot, couple of clamps, and some some grease for the joints. It'* pretty easy to use, and will save you some time.
BUT!!! Make sure the joints themselves ain't already damaged. Putting new/patched boots on bad CV Joints will just waste more time and money....

If the joint is shot, I think Bill means replace the axle when he is saying replace the joint. Axle is probably around $100.
When you replace the axle..there'* no greasy mess.

If it'* been ripped for 2 weeks, disregard my previous post. There will be damage there that you won't be able to see. It'* wat too important of a part to just "patch".....
