Another point of view. I would just replace the entire axle. Eeuro has them for about $100 new. You could replace just the boot, but it's a messy, fairly involved procedure that requires special tools. It's not rocket surgery, but on a scale of one to 10, I would give it above a five.
Replacing the entire axle with a new one can be done in less than an hour.
There's also the costs of repair versus new. If you have the axle out, you may as well replace both boots, and now you're costs in parts are probably above $50. It makes sense to pay a little more and have a brand-new axle especially if the old axle has high miles, so you don't have to go back in there in the near future.
