I understand what was written, and did read it, but it was referring to using a non split boot, and if going from the outside, using the special "pop" tool to avoid pulling the inside, or just pull the inside, change both boots and leave the rotor,/spindle in tact.

your right, if i want to use the split boot without pulling much apart, Ill just have to try it, and your right about selling it as is, thats why i havent really worked on it yet, Im not driving it now, but I might keep it for awhile, and if so, just looking for all my options.

thanks again for all the help and info.
