Pretty much that's it ~
You don't need a boot spreader , there's yet another fun to remove with greasy hands clip in the center of the CV Joint , you need to remove it ($pecial Tool or mangled fingers) then the entire CV Joint slides off the axle shaft so you can properly clean then re - pack it before replacing the boot .
They used to make " cheater " boots that are split & have a seam , they work O.K. , you need to keep the seam 1,000 % clean & grease free so the special glue (included) will grip both sides of the seam .
These are installed with the axle on the car , all you need is a jack , _SAFETY_STANDS_ , CEMENT (NOT asphalt !) , special CV Joint grease , a whole lot of clean lint free rags and patience ~
_Lots_ of patience .
Google ' quick boot ' , or maybe ' quicky boot ' , some thing like that , they're *much* cheaper too .
