The Annular Axles can be re-booted in the same manner as the Homokinetic Axles (Cans on both ends) by stretching a Flexx or Dorman Boot over the "Can on the Axle. There is several write ups in the DIY Repair Link section on that.

However, I cannot remember who (funola ?) said that on the Annular end (the circular part with the Blolts going through it) on the Annular Axles can be taken apart and there is something in there that can be removed to slide the Boots on from that end.

What is not clear is if that "something" needs to be pressed off with a Hydraulic Press or not. I have seen no write up or pics of this on the Annular Axles.
