Issue with Pass side rear axle boot cut, how to replace
Found some white grease on the inner pass rear wheel and A arm. Dealer says its a cut in the boot, which could be since I did my shocks last summer but I was pretty careful (guess not careful enough, or the dealer is full of it).
So, how hard is it for a backyard mechanic to replace one of these? Any info, including details like part numbers etc is always welcome.
Thanks in advance.

The dealer found "some" white grease???
The outer boot on my car had a microscopic cut on it and the entire inside of my wheel was covered with black grease.
It sounds to me like someone placed a little bit of the wrong color grease on the inside of your car to pad a bill.

Check out how much the whole axle half shaft is, its pretty cheap like $75 at NAPA. Either way you have to remove the wheel bearing and its a good size job... Once you have the wheel bearing off the axel half shaft just slides out, no special tools required.

EDIT- you want to get the CV axle nut loose (apply e brake) before removing all the other stuff.
