Stock boots are fine. No "easy" way to install ...removing the axles is the only right way ( pick up a VW repair manual).... I don't recommend the aftermarket boots , called "split boots" they don't last. While the axles are being replaced, it's a good time to repack the axle bearings....each side will take a little over an hour

Also, buy the correct boot clamps and clamp installation tool.
