I was going to power wash the undercarriage today when I discovered that my passenger side outer CV boot was split in half. I see that I can order a replacement boot from Indy4x for about 25 bucks or so. The problem I have is that I don't have a garage or a driveway to work in. About how much should I expect to pay a Pro to do this? I don't want to get ripped off. I read through the how too on the site and it doesn't look too complex.

I have not heard any grinding while driving so I'm hoping the CV joint is still good. Also, the grease inside the boot doesn't feel gritty, so I'm guessing not too much dirt has found it's way into the joint.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks
