95 rack and pinion

The dust boots have busted on it and I bought a new set of them. That being said... how hard is it to replace them. Is it going to be too hard for an inexperienced person like me to even try to tackle or should I just take it to a shop?
Thanks guys

Btw. I read the forum about the shaking at high speeds and I have that problem too with a fresh alignment but I haven't changed my tie rod ends.
Should I do this as well?
All input is appreciated

You likely need your entire rack replaced considering the age of if.

There is a write up on how to do it in the 4th gen stickies.

If your gonna replace the bellows , i would do the tie-rod ends also. I replaced my drivers side bellows and it was easy. You kinda jack the alignment up while you are in there, i tried counting turns and still needed an alignment afterwards

If you bought back the exact tie rod end that was there and your struts are OEM, it would not have needed an alignment.
