Gen 3 CV axle boot install- Any advice

[Offroadmuch]

So I am ordering a complete set of inner and outer cv boot rebuild kits, for both left and right side. Sales rep on the phone said that the part number from Mitsu is the same for left and right.
Part I am ordering: http://oemmitsubishiparts.com/2001-...s_driveline_parts-axle_shafts_joints-6285205/

I noticed that mine recently got torn up. Any tips for this job. I will do it at home in my garage.

I know that I should completely disassemble the axle and remove all the old grease and dirt and apply the supplied grease to all of the specified locations and then slide on the boots and secure the provided clips/clamps. Any tricks I should watch out for?

Thanks-

No help on tips but I thought that 03-06 had bigger rear cv's than 01-02 because of the 3.8 and more powerful diesel. But that is only because I read something on a Pajero forum. Kelly at southwest Mitsubishi (oemmitsubishiparts dealer) is really helpful too.

Thank you for pointing out the possible distinction in the parts. Fortunately the OEM Mitsubishi salesperson asked for my VIN as we talked about proper parts so I think I am good. I will double check before I open up the parts package.
