Drove fw-cars since '59, high mileage, never replaced cv joint. I replaced numerous boots, when joints started clicking I changed axles or just outer joints from side to side. Occasionally I added STP to grease.
I would buy a split boot, use engine cleaner, then brake cleaner and compressed air for cleaning, then repack and split boot, I prefer the one with glue. Should be less than 1 hr, I just did it on my wife's Taurus.
If you like wrenching or do protective maintenance I suggest both shafts, intermediate bearing and wheel bearings (don't forget new nuts).
