CV Boot replacement questions. Please help!

I was under my car for an oil change last week and noticed that the inner CV joint appears to have started slinging grease out. There is a lot of grease on my transmission (which caused a moment of panic) but it appears that the grease is coming from that CV boot.
At this time, there is no indication of a bad CV joint. No creaking during turns, no shaking during accelaration, etc. I'm thinking I might be ok just to replace the boot. I found replacements at [link]http://www.thesaabsite.com/900new/NG900cvs.htm[/link] and they appear to be pretty cheap.
I have never done a CV joint replacement before, but I'm not afraid to try. I have searched the archives for "cv boot" and "cv joint" hoping to find a tutorial, but I have not been able to find one. Does anybody know of one? Does anybody have any Saab manuals on CD that they could share with me or anything to help? If there is currently nothing available, would someone who has done this write a quick step-by-step process and note any special tools that I might need?
Last, but definately not least, is there anything I need to be extremely careful about (to make sure I don't mess anything up worse!)
I greatly appreciate any help that you guys can provide.
