Typical of a toyota worker to say that. I watched a non toyota worker, GT4 specialist garage change the CV boots (both inner and outer in 1 hour, well slightly over, on my car, not stood 4 feet away. The only time you should ever need to replace axels is if they are damaged, bent, just having a CV boot bust is no big deal unless you leave it for a long time and the grease goes bye bye. if its just gone, replace the boot and jobs a good un. If it takes 3 hours to do then they are talking bollocks and dont know what they are doing, I did it myself in less time than that with no specialist tools, a bitch of a job....yes, but no way 3 hours work. Find yourself a descent garage and they will do it no worries, never go to a toyota dealers, they are a rip off and havnt got a clue. Took my car to the dealers once and the guy didnt even know what model of Celica it was as he`d never seen one before, that says alot. by allmeans replace the axel if its bent or fubar, but to replace it just for the sake of it is stupid and a waste of hard earned cash.
