Fastest and Easiest: Put in new axles. Or do like I did (at the advice of fellow Mudders) and get used manual hubs and axles from a scrapper for cheap.

If yew wanna be friends, you can start by not calling yo Mini a Tacoma....

If I was gonna do a boot job...I'd jack up the side. Remove the hub dial. Remove the axle shaft retainer bolt. Remove the bolts that hold the inner CV (Tripod joint) to the axle flange. Tap the studs from the flange, and remove the half shaft (axle). You get nice new and purdy bands when you get new boots but the special tool that's really needed cost money and lives at the parts store. I'd take the joint there and buy a guy a coke and candy bar to let me do it there, or if you prefer just loan-a-tool and bring it home.
Cause if I mess something up, I'd like for somebody to help me out, cause I wouldn't exactly have a whole heapin mess of experience with the band tool.
And if you wheel I would look into this as well:

By the way, some of the guys here get kinda heated if you refer to anything prior to '95 as a "Tacoma." :whoops:

The swap is a no brainer, easier than changing yer own oil...
