If you follow that, you don't touch the ABS sensor or ring, and do the boot change in half the time.

.....there's definitely some down sides to having a "rare unique" vehicle...doesn't excuse him not figuring it out/looking it up/being more careful.....

I wouldn't worry about how long ago it tore - the grease around the torn boot looks fresh and hasn't had an opportunity to build up dust and crud, so your CV should be fine.

Good point, have to admit I didn't even think of that.....all that tan/orange stuff you see everywhere is from the dirt road...and there's NONE on the grease......could I have been so lucky that it blew in the 9 mile drive up there?? Must be!

Time to do the other side as well - both wheels have turned the same number of turns...... yeah, good advice..better call him tomorrow and add that to the list......

Mark I do recall now you were installing that in the Stoop fix-it-lot...did you buy new OEM or aftermarket new?

Thanks all for the input!
