Why not just bite the bullet and spend the 82 bucks now and replace both axles. I do this shit for a living and it would be worth the extra 46 per side not to have to deal with the boots. I have all of the tools and the experience and can tell you that it is not that bad at all but if you have never done a set it is a bit of a learning curve. Furthermore, doing just the axles and not the boots is really a cake walk. It takes me maybe 10 minutes a side tops to blow both axles in and out. If the boots are already blown open and slinging grease out of them and allowing everything else to contaminate it I would not even consider booting them in the first place anyhow, you need axles and not boots.
