Your instruction page looks pretty good.  I do have some suggestions though.  You only need to take appart the inboard cv to replace both boots but if any boot is broken you should take appart that joint to clean it.  I like break cleaner for the job.  Also I tend not to bother with taking the hub appart I just pull off the hole spindle.  One other thing I always replace both boots even if only one is broken there only ten bucks and its easier to only take everything appart once.  

Oh yea there is a special tool that you will need for the clamps but a pair of wire cutters may work in a pinch.
