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 .
you cannot just change the boot you will have to replace the whole axle

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.
