Drive Shaft Boot Replacement

appreciate if someone could point out where I can find the procedure in the
manuals. Is it just to remove the drive shaft from the final gear and pull
it out? Or do I need to assemble more stuff?

The half shaft should be removed. To do so, with a 250# torque wrench or
breaker bar and a cheater, remove the large nut on the wheel hub. 32mm
socket. Next, remove the six allen head bolts from the inner joint. Lower
your exhaust system, lower the inner shaft, pull out the shaft from the
wheel hub, and remove the shaft. Removal of the old boot and replacement of
the new one will be shown in the directions provided by the boot maker.

Yes. Don't use them. They hardly ever seal completely and they are not
balanced.
