There have been some people who have had problems with the fitment and inferior quality of the rebuilt axles received by aftermarket suppliers, including some good aftermarket suppliers.
I'd suggest getting a new boot and grease and changing it yourself. I have never used a 'split boot' but some people have had a lot of luck with them.
To answer your question about CV joint removal, you'll need to remove a circlip, so you'll need that special circlip tool. I've also found that the CV joint 'wants' to be reinstalled in the same position as it was removed (not upside down) even though it looks like it wouldn't matter. You need to carefully tap-off the CV joint.
