Default CV boot question

Ok took my sol to honda cus, when I was lazy, Walmart used impact gun to put the oil pan bolt back in and I couldnt get off. Damn bolt costs 2.40. Anyways, they told me outer CV boot was torn. I did the search on the topic and found some good info. But, no one really said all the tools necessary for changing the axles out, besides new 32mm nuts, 32mm socket, and an impact gun, or the procedure. If this is detailed thoroughly in HAYNE'S or a CHILTONs manual let me know.

And, yes i know nothin bout axles, does a replacement axle come with CV joints or new boots, since its better to replace the whole axle than just the boot.

How long can I wait before this needs to be replaced, no clickin sounds yet.
Thanks in advance.

its better to replace the whole axle. mine is cracked n i think its ripping. but its better to fix it asap. when it starts clicking it means its to late. and your geting grease all over your axle. ive learn by past experience. its not fun if you break both your axles.
heres what i found
