2002 996TT Front Axle Boot Repl. - DIY Project?

I just bought a 2002 996 Turbo. The PPI identified a few issues, one being a torn CV Boot on one of the front axles. I see from the service history that it had been identified a couple of years back. It's a CA car, so I assume it's unlikely that there has been much deterioration to the CV Joint, but I'm not sure. Before I pay a dealer to replace the CV Joint, just wanted to check to see if this might be a DIY project for someone with 6-7/10 mechanical skills. Is there anything in particular I should be looking at when the boot is off?

Also - are there any "must have" maintenance/repair manuals or websites for someone contemplating doing work on their 996TT?
