Aw, don't use a quick-boot.
It isn't that hard to repair it properly with an OE-style boot.

Well I did buy the quickie one but after finding out was wrong size, i
just said screw it and went with pulling the axle and putting a
regular boot on. But boy it still wasn't worth it, after I had it
pulled apart I started noticing ads saying repair places would change
a boot for as little as 49 bucks including the parts. So I only saved
about 35 bucks and spent hours in grease and sweat, and
cleaning/greasing the joint is a friggin mess. One tip I'd pass along
is that to pry the lower arm and ball joint out of the knuckle, use a
very long crowbar and leverage it at the arm pivot, not at the ball
joint, much easier...Frenchy

You should call and find out exactly what they do. The $49 price leads me
to believe they use a split boot and never pull the axle. I can't see anyone
making money pulling the axle, repacking the joint with the proper grease,
putting on a new boot, and reassembling everything for only $49.

The CV joint boot repair is not much fun. I just buy a new axle ($70),
though you can get bum axles sometimes.
Prying the ball joint pin out of the steering knuckle clamp and getting it
back in is tough, but is made much easier if you loosen and lower the sway
bar and also if you have a helper.
