The front CV Boot on my rear driveshaft is torn and so it's flung grease all over the under carriage. My question is, are the CV boots replaceable or do I have to buy a whole new rear driveshaft? And if it is replaceable, how hard is it to change out? Thanks for any info.
 
It's just an overgrown CV joint. It requires a special tool to crimp the band on the boot, or you could just use a hose clamp. They're easy enough to do though. If you do any offroading do yourself a favor and replace it with a spicer style double carden shaft.

Got the tool and the CV boot in today. It was actually kind of PITA. I still didn't get the bigger boot on correctly from what it seems. Still have grease flinging everywhere. Pretty aggrivating after spending hours on it today before work.
