Re: split CV boots don't fit
Using a non-split boot entails removing the half-shafts. Once they are out, you might as well replace them with the boots already installed as rebuilt assemblys. It would take more time to take the half-shafts apart, clean the CV joints (since they have been potentially contaminated), and install and grease the boots than to totally replace them.
Also, if the boots are split, then you have possibly contaminated the CV joints and are taking a chance that they will go to hell early because of contamination. The rebuilt half-shafts are more reliable than those with only replaced boots.
