Hi Jason,
To be honest, you would be better off replacing the entire CV Axle. Why? well because depending on how long the boot has been torn/cracked were the grease has been slung out and road grime and debri has gotten into the CV Joint and has worm on it. Could be only a matter of weeks maybe couple months that the joint will fail and need to be replaced. And besides that it will be cheaper and quicker to replace the entire axle then to replace just the boot.
