Not really, but you need some decent tools and a service manual if you don't know what you're doing. You'll have to dismember some suspension components.

Personally I would not replace the boot. I would get a new (remanufactured, guaranteed) axle. This is much less labor intensive as you don't have to disassemble the axle, you just take out the old one and pop in the new one. $65-80 for a reman axle after you give them your old one.
