As I just found out this morning, I'm gonna be here myself. 
(split outer CV boots)

Here's another trick to removing the inner CVs:  If you have vented brake
rotors, stick a screwdriver into the vent slot and jam the rotation of the axle
against the caliper.  That way, you can leave the car in neutral, spin the
axle to get the inner CV bolts where you can work on them, then stop the
rotation.
