No but it is easier to replace the whole axle, and fairly cost effective considering the amount of work and the special tools to make the job of replacing the boots easier (slidehammer with attachment etc.) and very messy.
If the inside boots are torn take a close look at your motor mounts. they could be bad and cause the inner boots to tear.

Best approach is to acquire a repair manual for that vehicle. Pep Boys or similar will likely have one..

Yes. Any parts store should have them.

to me this is a simple job, I didn't mean to sound insulting but having never done one i fixed a friends car with a bad CV joint, I found a rebuild kit with new joint ball bearings and grease boots, removing the joints is straight forward, clean the grease out of the joint to see the spring clip that holds it to the axle shaft splined end, to remove the stub end of axle from the steering knuckle undo the axle nut (u need a new one of these) and the unbolt the strut from the knuckle of course the brake caliper and the disk must also be removed, try to push the axle out and swing the knuckle out of the way, you may need to undo the tie rod as well.
