The easy way to fix the boots is to cut off the old ones and use a split boot. But, these don't last very long. So the other way is to dissassemble the hub and unbolt the halfshaft from the side gear shaft. You then have to unbolt the lower control arm and dop it out of the way.

CV joints make loud clicking noises when the steering wheel is turned while vehicle is moving (usually when accelerating).
