Default CV boot replacement

I have a rip in one of my CV boots. there is grease all over the place now!

has anyone here ever had to get a CV boot replaced? I believe this was done when my brother poked a screw driver through it while doing my coilovers.

any help would be appreciated!

Default I had mine replaced a couple months ago.

Dealership quoted me close to $600 . . . I had an independant audi/mb/porsche shop do the work instead (all 4 cv boots replaced for $300).

This repair requires dropping the whole front axle . . . so might as well clean / regrease / replace all 4.
