Wheel bearing change, ripped boot.

Theres a boot at the end of the control arm that was filled with what looks like packing grease. I was changing my wheel bearing and it ripped. go figure.

This is obviously going to be a problem. Where can i find the replacement for this? How do i remove it? Thanks

if you're talking the cv boot, just replace the whole axle.

Ball joint.

Do they sell the rubber covers seperate? I really dont want to spend another 20 bucks for that little thing.

It's your ball joint ^^

They are a pain in the balls to replace for the first time because they are riveted in, but once you replace em the first time, they are easy because replacements bolt in place.

I did mine 2 years ago when I was dropping my motor back in, because the boots were ripped.
