people think when you want to replace half shaft it's hard i'm here to tell you it really is easier than just changing the outer c/v are getting ripped off because you replace whole half/shaft c/v joint is probably just as much as a half/shaft also you got your warnenty on half/shaft. and a qick boot is just a fix for a few maybe just next day it will come off could come of be a weak if your lucky.
good luck.

Grammar is fun, it really is. You should check into it.
Anyway, like I said I don't know how difficult it is on an Intrigue. I know on my Cherokee it really wasn't bad, it was basically a hub removal taken a step further. Pulled out the Chiltons on the Intrigue and it looks like basically the same thing. You have to disconnect the tie-rod end and ball joint from the steering knuckle, as well as pull the hub off the axle shaft. I would think you would also need to remove the brake calipers, but I dont see it mentioned.
It states for the right side, that GM recommends a certain tool kit be used, and for the left side that there is a slot for a prybar to remove it.
Id probably give it a try, but I have a reasonable amount of free time, and another vehicle to drive if something goes awry.
A speediboot if installed even reasonably right will probably never come off, but they dont seal as well as the proper boots, and its easy to get dust, grime, water, etc in there.
