My rear output shaft u-joint boot is torn. I'm tempted just to remove it and run the bare u-joint until the joint gets play, which may take years, esp since its only $50 or so. My only concern is getting crud in the splines on the shafts and causing wear.
I know they are sealed with an o-ring from the outer ends, but are the splined holes for the shafts on the u-joint assembly itself blind, or open to the inside? Can't really get a good look without tearing the rest of the boot off.
I've had this part off of a 700, but honestly don't remember if it was open.
TIA.
