Default Ball joint boot

OK so as I started to take my tranny off I found that the ball joint boot on my skunk 2 camber kit has split open. I can't find a DIY so any advise on doing this would be helpful. I haven't yet taken it off to look at it and I get my replacement boot tomorrow. So my question is how do you replace just the boot on the upper ball joint?

I know on the stock ones there are just to rings you have to slide off. Thy look like a key ring. Very easy but a camber kit I do not know.

Well I just picked up my new boots. Energy suspension polyurethane ball joint boots. Is there a ball joint boot grease? I have axle grease and bearing grease. Will these work?

Well it looks like the skunk2 ball joint is shot so I ordered a replacement from http://www.heeltoeauto.com/product.p...at=1665&page=1. I guess when I get the replacement in I will change both boots with the energy ones.
