CV Boot leaking grease

Has anyone changed just the front outer CV boot?

Given the cost of a new CV axle and availability of OEM CV boots, I wanted to see if anyone has done boot only swap as a DIY and also if someone has the torque specs for the bolts that need removal and re-installation (service manual images much appreciated if anyone has it). Proper torque is key. TIA

If you can't find it, please check Gen1 DIY I posted.
