CV Boot Replacement -Progress Update

I knew I would screw this up some how: I used some pieces of wood to block up the upper control arms. - They were not think enough (could not get the bolt to the upper ball joint out from the bolt). Rather than put everything back together I removed the upper ball joint (seems easy enough to put back). I've now got everything ready and found the infamous circlip. But I'm out of time, wife is out of town next week (leaving me with kid duty) so it may be two weeks before I can get back on this.
Parting queries:
1. How do you break open ball joints without screwing up the rubber boot over them?
2. Noticed Saab ball joints are 3x price of other replacement part brand, seems like a simple part, is it worth the premium?
