CV joint work: recently replaced boots can be reused, right?

Well, I am getting annoyed with that CV joint spindle bushing sound.
So, I am going to feel around for a good place to get the left CV joint worked.

I just had new boots put on outer/inner on both sides.
They can be saved and reused? I assume yes but want to be sure.
Yes or no?

Thanks guys.

If you mean the spindle bushings in the hub then the boots won't have to be touched. The entire shaft is removed and replaced in one piece.

yep - basically, the hole where the CV goes through the spindle is where it needs to be greased.

NOTE: you can easily do this job yourself.
