The boot came off my ball bearing joint and spilt a lil grease, not much.. No noise etc... but can I re- grease this and seal the boot with any kind of glue??

How much would something like this cost to fix anyways, I've dealt with my share of CV joints but not the ball bearings.

this isnt a ball bearing, its a ball-joint, and no it wont hurt it for the boot to be ripped, common thing among hondas, but I replaced mine in the hatch for like 70 bucks for MOOG aftermarket ones.

ok cool, another thing.. My timing belt was changed at 65,XXX due to severe weather conditions, as it says in the book.. The previous owner did it. How many miles could I get before I should take it in to have my timing and water pump done?? Im at 105,XXX right now...Does about 113,XXX sound about right??
