I suggest you just replace the axle, its alot easier than trying to put a boot on it... if your not going to try the "quick-boot" type of boots. then your going to be pressing off the cup, and then trying to get everything back into position and pressing the cup back on. the cup costs like 250$ thats allmost as much as a reman axle.
