Too bad there's not a way to, say, staple and glue the two
split parts back together, assuming the rest of the boot
is good...

This makes sense. I guess I confused "remove" with "disassemble". It would
be nice if you didn't have to disassemble the front suspension. On my
wife's mazda, on the passenger side, after taking the suspension apart and
sliding the spline out, removing the axle is just a tap but on the diriver's
side I guess there is an advantage of not removing the shaft as the
transmission fluid falls out.

Thanks for all of the dialog.

"With lubricant. Place the (black pointy cone) on the ground and center the
boot over the cone. Holding the boot to the installer use a firm and fluent
motion to press the boot to the base of the cone.

Place the installer & cone over the joint. Drive the boot over the joint by striking the
base of the installer grease the joint. And stretch don't over the joint until a tight fit
is formed. "
