Re: changing inner cv boot
Don't think I've ever seen a DIY for it, it's not too big a job. You essentially have to remove the entire driveshaft though - and you'll need a pair of circlip plyers to be able to remove the inner coupling, so you can slide the old boot off & slide the new one on.

finished this tonight. ended up just leaving the inner cv joint still in, and removed the bearings/shaft. then just cleaned and re-greased and put the boot on the shaft & assembled. like bennoz said wasn't too bad of a job.
