Don't bother with the split, glue together type of boot, they are in my experience totally rubbish !!! You'll be replacing them again in a few months if you're lucky enough not to bin them in frustration when trying to fit them.
You're much better off getting the stretchy boots made by Bailcast.

You may need the applicator cone to fit them over the CV joint.

You have to remove the joint out of the hub but not the joint from the shaft so it takes a little longer ( say about an hour a side ) but they last longer and fit better than the split type.
To make fitting easier, leave the in a bowl of hot water to soften them even further, and use some lube on the fitting cone to ease them on. I use silicone spray but any form of lube ( apart from grease ) will do.
