Thanks Stuart,

Bolts and grease ordered and I have the tool but got his as well as it looks much nicer.  I really like his products and recommendations.  But, I’m still hoping for a better CV boot than the Rockford.

The site worked pretty well. 
His shipping cost was very reasonable.

Go Chris at T3!
