Don't bother, just replace the entire axle. Once the boot is damaged, the CV joint is contaminated and it will not last very long. It's just an exercise in futility to replace the boot, and the effort is almost as great as if you replaced the entire half-shaft axle.

Can you make it 500 miles with a busted axel boot?

It depends a lot on the conditions you will be driving in, and the condition of the CV (constant velocity) joint before you begin. The CV Boot (axle boot) is just a rubber protection device to keep the grease in and the contaminates out. Inside is the CV joint which allows the axle to flex as the tire bounces up and down along the roadway. When the boot is torn, it allows dirt, road grit water, salt etc inside which gets mixed with the grease and destroys the bearings in the CV joint. With a torn boot the grease escapes as the axle spins contributing to the early failure of the CV joint. This is often precipitated by a clicking sound. Replacing the boot before damage is done to the joint can save a significant amount of money. Depending on the make and model, many repair shops charge less than $100 for parts and labor to replace the boot. If the torn boot is left unattended, the CV joint gets damaged and you will most likely need a rebuilt axle which can cost anywhere from $200 to $600. While it is certainly possible to drive 500 miles and get away with it, it is not advisable.

What causes the right front driver side tire to shake like it's coming off?

First, check the lug nuts and wheel bearing... maybe it really IS coming off.If both of those are okay, next check the CV joint. Typically a CV joint that's worn that bad will have a torn or damaged "boot". Whenever you see a damaged CV joint boot, just replace the CV joint. After-market boots seldom work.

How do you take apart an outer CV joint on a 1998 volkswagen gti vr6?

Once the axle is out, just hold the axle shaft and whack the CV joint with a rubber hammer a few times till it comes off the end of the shaft. It is held on by a spring clip which detents into a groove in the joint body. Cutting off the boot first will help a little.
