replacing outter cv boot?
piece of cake, can do it without removing shaft and draining gearbox oil if you're careful.
slice old one off with a stanley knife
get a universal stratch boot and either
actually stretch it over using a bucket of lube and a cone, which is a pita
or knock the cv joint off the shaft by tapping it it with a mallet
fit cv boot and tap it back on, making cure the circlip is located on the end of the shaft.
if you don't have a magic crimper for doing the fiddly metal clips that hold it on, just use some good old zip ties
Did one couple of days ago, no sweat!
Certainly not worth messing removing a shaft, catching oil, and refilling gearbox.
