So I am going to follow up on this just for anyone else'* future reference.

Boot - $20
Whole New Axle - $55

The boot is pretty much hard to do, so why not get a whole new axle? Buying a whole new axle insures that you have two good joints, two good boots, and will save you about an hour of install time.

Personal opinion - don't bother trying to replace a boot.

I had that same feeling and try to warn friends.

Greasy nasty slippery mess to do a boot.
