Default Bearing replacement gone wrong.

Hello follow longtime s2k owners. Just this past Thursday I had my rear wheel bearings replaced at a local shop. No big deal. I can't fix it because I don't have all the proper tools, so I figure I would buy the parts and have them install them for me. Turs out the shop I took it to dident have a bearing press with the tonnage required to remove on of the bearings because it had froze up in the hub. Long story short I get my car back and the ABS light is on, so I jack it up and inspect it. To my suprise after i clean axel grease off all the right rear break, suspension, and axel parts I found that the hack who did the job tore the rubber boot ,thats still in good shape, and fouled up the portion of the hub witch has the knobs that the abs sensor reads. Whoops i almost forgot the bonehead also installed the rotor without alligning it. My questions for anyone who may have the answers are. 1. How long should I drive before i replace the torn boot? 2. Can and should I drive it with the fouled up ABS sensor knobs, and if I can drive it like that is the ABS going to be dissabled by the ECU in some way?
