The outer joints usually won't disassemble (or easily disassemble) so you'll need to replace both inner and outer boots as you'll have to remove the inner joint from the shaft in order to replace the outer boot. (master of the run-on sentence)
The band tool you'll want, as an occasional user, is the KD 3191 on the page listed above.
Half shafts are not normally balanced as they are small diameter and don't spin very fast at all. You'll never see an OE unit with weights or grinder slots on them indicating any type of balance process. Regular driveshafts spin 3-4 ( insert axle ratio for exact multiplier) times faster than the half shafts and are balanced for that reason.
