Ripped CV Boot. Options

[parriehunter]

Just jacked the car up for a service to find that I have torn the right hand side outter CV boot and the left hand side has cracks and looks like it may tear soon.

Is it worth replacing the cv on the rhs or just the boot? Is it a big job? I shouldn't need to replace the axle will I?
Ill get photos up soon.

I searched but could find anything that helped me. Im sure someone out there will find what im after but i tried.

EDIT:Spelling

To me, if you have the time and the patience to do it, I would. But its one of those things where you don't change it so often, so paying for it works for me.

So i guessing you are saying that it is quite involved. Im about to ring toyota and see how much they reckon it will cost.

Its not hard just figuring it out at first, time, effort, patience, is what is involved. Do you have another car to drive in case you don't finish? That is the other things.
