How to replace front driveshaft slip boot
Like many of you out there, my front driveshaft slip boot is torn. I just saw this on Quadratec.

For $19 it seems like a quick fix. My question is how do I go about installing it. I've never done any work on driveshafts, so the more detailed an explanation the better. Any help would be appreciated.
I understand that eventually I'll need to get a new driveshaft. When I have the money I'll be shopping for a Tom Woods. For now though, $19 seems like the right price. I'm also planning on installing an exhaust spacer to avoid this happening in the future.
I have a 2013 jk 2 door with a rock krawler 2.5" lift and 35's

I haven't actually looked under the boot of a stock driveshaft, but should be like the aftermarkets, just splines on the end of one half that slide into a splined opening on the other half. Remove the shaft and pull the two ends apart. Clean and re-grease. Put the new boot on one side. Then slip them back together.
Or forget the boot and just pull it apart and clean/grease.
Also may not be a bad idea to mark everything so you put it back together and reinstall the same way it came out.
