The difference is mostly just the mess of dealing with all the grease and the time to clean and repack everything. Half of this project (and most of the projects I start) are just to learn how, so I'm not too upset about the extra effort. In the future, just buying a reman will be the way too go.

**I made a point to spring for better boots because they'll be under more stress at the new driveline angle, also, for some reason I thought I could leave the axle installed and slip the boots on and off.
Right on. When I was a tech, I only did remans - too messy & time consuming.
