If you don't know how long it's been like that, it would be good to remove and inspect the CV joint. Messy job, but would be better than reassembling and getting bad CV joint noises a few hundred miles later because of some sand or grit in the joint itself.
My opinion, this job, even if just replacing the boot, is 10x easier with the whole axle off the car. It's really not difficult to get to the outboard bolts, just have to be flexible.
I ended up just replacing my axles with the GKN units at $200/axle when I found a sale on some earlier this year.
