Rear CV boot replacement

[coullstar]

Swapping wheels over tonight and found offside rear CV outer boot is split and grease everywhere.
Are these particularly hard to replace and any specials tools required?

Should be easy, just depends what condition nuts and bolts are in and what is seized

Crack the hub bolt with the car on the ground, big socket or could be a 17mm allen key.

I cant remember if you have to let anything go other than the lower balljoint to swing the strut off the joint? Possibly droplink and just pivot it on the tie rod?
