Font axle boot cracked.

[drowens1]

I have a CV joint boot that is cracked and slings grease. it is on the right front. Is there an easy fix for this or is it a complete disassembly of the axle?

There's no easy fix for this one. While there are some aftermarket wrap around repair boots the best fix is to remove the half-shaft and replace the boot with a new one. The boots, bands, and tools to install them aren't expensive and are a worthwhile addition to your tool box. Make sure you thoroughly clean out the old grease when you have the joint apart or you'll have more problems down the line. In your not comfortable with an axle rebuild then the next alternative is to pick up a rebuilt axle.

I have new RF CV shafts (axles) if need you end up needing one.

I found an easy or easier way of doing, disconnect the axle at the differential or at the brake disc, remove the CV and boot, and replace the outside boot without removing the axle, it's fairly easy, and at that point lube both CV and replace both boots if needed.
