I replaced a ball joint boot last Saturday and relied heavily on this thread:

The only hiccup was getting the large opening on the boot properly seated in the midst of a greasy mess.
Just a note to thank everyone for the help!

Thank you for posting the link. I am about to do this job.
I paid someone to replace my boots less than 2 years ago and they are already split. It probably has been about 3000 to 5000 miles.
If you go around once a year and dress all the rubber ( ball joint and rack boots, CV Boots, weather strip, hoses, even wipers) with this link, you'll be amazed how much longer stuff lasts. All the rubber on my wife's Honda element is 10 years olden lives outside. It all looks like new stuff. I just hit it all once during the big fall cleaning.
