I have never done it but the service manual shows that you have to disassemble the whole joint to get the old boot off and the new one back on. Assembling a CV joint is something I think I want to experience. You are going to have to pull the axle out either way, so why not save yourself the hassle and just throw a new one in?

Yes, it puts a fair amount of stress on them.
