Split CV Joint Boot Availability

Split CV Joint Boot Availability
I have a torn CV joint rubber boot. I have looked for one of the split boot repair kits, but there is nothing listed for the 850.
Does anyone know where to buy one for the 850, or does anyone know the dimensions of the OEM boot so I can see if is there one listed for another vehicle that will work?
And, yes, it would be better to replace the boot with the OEM one, but my mechanic wants $350 to do it and I don't have the time to do it myself.
Thanks,
JM

RE: Split CV Joint Boot Availability
Not to beat this thing to death, but i'm thinking that the best approach would be to buy a remanufactured axle unit for $120 or so and replace it, instead of taking off the old boot and repacking the CV joint.
Any experience with rebuilt axles, and which approach is easier?
