In theory, yes. I suspect that it might be necessary to lower the differential in order to get clearance for the tool. You basically install the boot on the tool small-end first,with the large end folded back. Then flop it over once it's on the axle. Adding lube with the axle installed would pose its own challenges. (I speak from watching videos, not personal experience. If you missed the video, see the link in post #7.)
