nope, easy as hell, pretty straight forward

uber easy. just make sure you dont let the axle hang when you put the part into the diff. you could break it. same goes with everything, dont let anything just hang on any lines or anything. just in case.

You know what...hahahaha..after getting off the phone with the guy at Nissan and running him around in circles, I realized it's not a cv boot. It's just the dust boot that covers part of the steering linkage (found on either side of the car). Really sorry guys...not real sure what I was thinking of.....I assume still not very hard to change out?

you gotta take off the tie rod end and slip the dust boot on, just be careful the mark the position of the rod end and locking nut. You can use white out, scratch a mark, or count threads, whatever. If you don't set the length back to what is was before then you will need to get an alignment. Also when taking off the rod ends it would be wise to replace the old cotter pins. Make sure the locking nut on the tie rod (the long rod section) is torqued down properly when you reassemble it. But, be carefulnot to overtighten the rod end (the ball joint).
