    2011 F10 Axle or CV boot

    Looking to get some help or shed some light on this.. My passenger side outer CV boot split, the dealer has quoted $1200+ to change the boot, but I'm thinking how much is the axle... why not just replace the axle and call it a day. If it's $1200 for a boot, it's got to be $2g's or more for an axle? Doe's anyone know a good shop in the MD/VA/DC area that can do this work? I'm very mechanically inclined but don't feel like taking my car apart.
