98 rodeo, 3.2, 4X4

While replacing the starter on the Rodeo I noticed that BOTH front C V outer boots were shot <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />. Is there a way short of pulling the axle ass'y to solve this prob? I have seen split boots for this application on other trucks, is there one available the Rodeo? I think I can do a pretty good job of cleaning out the joint and blowing out all of the solvent and re packing it on the truck if I can get the split boots. Any help will be appreciated.

The manuals I have looked require a complete disassembly of the steering and front end to remove the axle ass'y to do this job <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />, I think that may be beyond my level of expertice and patience at this point (after the starter).

Thanks,

Tom
