CV boot (53 reg 1.2 petrol) - secretsquirrel

Hi, I noticed a couple of months ago when getting new front tyres fitted that the drivers side outer CV Boot had a small hole. The MOT is due soon I've got the new kit, but before I fit it I remember many years ago Renault CV boots needed a special tool. A long cone was fitted over the CV joint and the small hole of the boot slid along the cone which stretched the opening enough to place it on the shaft, sometimes it even worked without tearing the new boot!
Is this still the case or is it easier now?

Don't see why things would have changed.
Stretch boots and the cone tool cost about a fiver each.
