There are split boots available, but don't waste your money. You may be putting effort into a bad CV joint. It is incredibly messy and awkward.

Pull the joint and either replace boot or entire cv axle.

Again, there are plenty of good youtube videos on CV boot replacement.

I've done both boot replacement and cv axle replacement and have come to the conclusion, that I would rather replace axles than mess w/ CV boots.

good luck
