no!
dude, dont worry i replaced my inner front cv boot last weekend
took all day cause some moron at some auto parts store said" this universal boot will fit, i give you my word!" needless to say i wont go there anymore but i did find the right boot and only took about 3hours with right hand tools and the right air tools. boot cost approx. -$20
all you have to do is...
take the wheel off take all the brake caliper and pads off remove the dust sheild then i removed the upper ball joint retaining screws and lower retaining screws, notice you dont have to mess with the ball joint just the plate that holds it. i also removed all the of the front hub wheel bearing washers out removed shock and lower sway bar mounts for some reason cant remember why? but did then removed the cv front the entire assembly, took of the little clip holding on the universal joint slid the clamp on put all the grease on the universal joint slid the boot on then put the clamp on the inner drive assembly boot on tightend both clamps and put everything pack together the way i took if off making sure to clean each part removed and repacking it with high temp wheel bearing grease. good luck not very hard just time consumming and messy. then wed. i had to replace the wheel bearing on the same side and this weekends choir putting the new universal in the rear.
you dont need power/air tools just makes everything so quicker but my time approximation is with hand tools so dont worry.
e-mail with any more questions or just pay somebody some rediculous amont of money to do it (dont) you can do it!
