If you clean out all the grease, you should see a snap ring in there. Remove that, then you'll be able to take it apart. Then stretch the new boot over the end, then re-grease and re-assemble.

its not worth the hassle to try to rebuild it and you have to remove it from the car to do that.. i would recomend buying a new one at a parts store they are only 50 bucks
