wouldnt use the universal split type mate the split part always unglues itself quite quickly. Remove driveshaft, six bolts at diff and 36mm nut (iirc) at hub centre, cut old boot off and clean all grease from cv joint, now thisnext bit im not sure about cv joint will be either a knock of type or will be held by a clip between cv joint and shaft look closely where joint meets shaft for a small cutout in joint with the ends of a clip showing they will look like two small prongs you need to close the prongs together and joint should then come off of shaft you might need to tap it with a hammer. if you cant find a clip then its the knock off type and all you need to do is give the joint a few sharp hits with a hammer on the inside edge and joint should come off, you might need to try different places round the inside edge. once off check that clip on end of shaft is ok then fit new boot, fill joint with supplied grease through the centre of cv joint, cv joint should then just tap back on ,check by pulling/tapping that clip has locked in place and finish fitting boot. hope that helps you out a bit mate.

other option is remove driveshaft yourself and take it to a garage and get them to fit boot for ya, will save you an hour or so labour charge from a garage.
