Default Replacing ball joint dust cover/boot?

Evening all,

A couple months ago I had one of my ball joints out (the ball joint going from front lower arm to hub) and noticed the rubber boot is quite deteriorated. I'm pleased to say I did not cause this damage . There's no play in the joint and to be perfectly honest, I am a bit put off replacing the lower arms after the numerous stories I've read so I'm wondering about just replacing the boot.

MOT time is approaching and I'm a bit worried the boot might be a fail. Has anyone ever replaced the boot only? I've seen some boots for sale online but I've never done this before so have no idea how to go about it. Any special tools required? What grease to use etc?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew
