CV Boot replacement?
I was under my S4 last night, and I noticed some grease on the inside of the wheel. I looked and found a tiny (maybe 3/8") tear in the CV boot. How difficult is the replacement of this? Is there any glue that would seal the tear and hold up to the abuse? How big of a job is it to pull the axle and replace it?
FYI, car has 77k miles, and NO sound coming from the CV joint.

as cv boot/joint is constantly being in use, i wouldnt try sealing the tear. it's cheap enough to
get someone to do it, might as well do it right the first time. if you look at the tech articles there is a how-to on CV boot replacement.

Oddly enough, my S4 is in the shop to replace the inner CV boot....
Im assuming that the grease on the wheel means that it is the outer CV boot. if this is the case, i dont know how hard it is, but if it is the inner boot like mine it requires taking the axle out.
