no point in just trying to do boot...cheap aftermarket shaft assemeblies are out there and its so easy that even if you have to do it sooner than you would a real V part, its worth it.
i am assuming yours is like my 94 850 but i am amazed at reading the posts that everyone says you have to disconnect the ball joint. I tried that and got nowhere...beat and pried my brains out for 3 days!
THEN i asked a V master mechanic if he had any tips - he sure did!! told me to just pull out the two A-arm bolts at the subframe and pull away the hub and lower A-arm! WHEW! SUPER-EASY!!! did each side in about 40-45 min, including jacking up the car!!
