Sparks plugs are replaced by disconnecting the battery, removing the spark plug cable and boot, and by removing the old spark plug. Next put in the new spark plug, attach the boot and cable and reconnect the battery.
the boot you can tell with a visual inspection. there should be no tears in the boot. the boot is there to keep grease in and debris out. if the boot is torn and most of the grease is gone you probably should replace the shaft. if you catch it soon enough though you can just replace the boot which is much cheaper.
lift the boot, and grab a screw driver and unscrew the light and then at the back of the light twist the bulb out and replace and twist it back in afterwards.
remove the console, you should see some screws on the bottom of the boot, remove, replace boot, replace console
A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.

I am having the axel changed not one boot...and the mechanic quoted me $150 which includes parts and labor.
Get a new key or get a hammer and smash the boot open.

this is not the definitive ans. but and answer all the same .. in order for an amateur to change a c.v boot i feel it would be adviseable to first remove the outer c v joint first then replace the old boot by cutting it off with a junior hack saw and fitting the new one with care .notwithstanding this is a fair procedure and many people would not know that a split boot can also be obtained that glues together iin place and fairly simple to fit but will never last as long as a complerte new boot .
