1993 honda civic... Anyone know how to replace the outer cv boots on these cars? Do you need to use a split boot? I'm confused and can't figure it out.

It seems that in order to replace one you have to replace both or am I mistaken on this? And if that is so I don't have the money to replace the inner ones at this moment, so do you think it would be possible to cut the new ones to make a split boot and stick it on this way?
