    I've got a small rip in one of the front CV boots. The FIRST video seems to be the best one for removing the axle. The SECOND video seems to be the best for the boots, but it's not specific for a 4x4 Tacoma.

    I am definitely getting the OEM boot kits from the dealership. I have the 35mm socket, snap-ring pliers, and everything else.

    Questions:

    1. Does anyone know a video specific for the 4x4 Tacoma CV boots & rings?
    2. Where is the best place to buy the clamp crimping tool? I searched here but I found some dead links.
    3. What is the best type of tie-rod pulling tool?
    4. Anything else?
