Hi Guys,
New owner here ('05 vert) with a couple questions about replacing one of my halfshafts. After getting the car up on blocks for the first time, I found a cracked (damaged?) CV boot on the outer end of the driver side halfshaft. I'd like to consider doing this myself, as much to save some money as I enjoy working on cars.
I've tried to search this forum pretty thoroughly and I believe it's a reasonable job, though potentially a PITA. Couple points I haven't been able to clarify: Is a specialty tool needed, or is it possible to simply pry/pop it out of the diff? If a slide hammer tool is required, is it Miller 9052? Or 8846? Or just a pry bar?
Anyone have an OEM shaft they'd like to part with after upgrading theirs?
Finally, anything to be concerned about with alignment from disassembling / reassembling the rear suspension?
Thanks in advance!
