Outta boredom , "not sure why" I wanted to set toe on my rear,

Well, I heated my bushing for radius rod, and STUPIDLY heated my half shaft boot, the one beside the caliper,..

It's more so shriveled , soooo didn't think much of it, but went for a test ride and after I parked , I saw a small amount of grease on the ground and then realized where it came from :(

It's not a big leak but there,.

Is there a repair for the boots?

Or if not, how hard is it to replace the boots ,I'm assuming both as lol, my luck the calliper side imo looks like the worst to change..


Any ideas? Do only specially driveline shops do them?

easy to do, just have to get the boots. Check flash off road for a possible boot cross reference

Some of the cheap universal ones work but the quality is not the greatest, clamps are the shits.  I will grab some part numbers for the ones I ordered through rockauto.  I would recommend the ones off ebay for HMMWVs as they are only $8 a piece and the correct size.

They are dorman 614-003 and 614-001


But if you have time i would order the four pack of correct ones from ebay for 30-40$ plus shipping the dormans are ok if you are in a pinch
