I see on http://gmcmotorhome.info/front.html under the remove boot section that the boots can be replaced without taking out the axle.
"Replace the CV boot with out removing the axle
Jack up the front of the coach, block it,
remove wheel (optional), remove the tie rod from the knuckle(optional,
but it will give you more room & flexibility), cut the old boot
off, with a snap ring pliers, EXPAND snap ring in the outer CV joint
and slide axle towards the inner plunge joint, clean as needed, install
new boot on axle, slide axle into outer CV joint, snap ring will expand
as axle is pushed into CV joint, MAKE SURE SNAP RING IS SEATED, install
grease and position CV boot, burp the air out of the boot and clamp it,
try to keep the surface for the outer clamp surface as dry as possible.
This is about an 1-1/2 hour job per side, good luck. Bob

Am I interpreting these instructions correctly that by pushing the axle into the final drive (transmission ?) I will be able to slide the new boot on ? Will I need any special tools to disconnect the axle and to install the clamps ?
Or would this be better left to a local shop ?
Thanks for any advice
