Replace CV boot or whole axle??

I was looking under my 2003 9-5 linear the other day and noticed grease had been leaving the passenger side inner wheel bearing, the boot still looks good, but it's still losing grease.
I have 80K on my car, and have access to an automotive lift and tons of tools but i've been told it's too much work to replace a boot.
I'd rather spend $20 on a boot kit and maybe prolong the life of a good axle, but if it's really not worth it i'll wait for it to go bad.
Any feedback is appreciated!
