Default Changing rear axle CV boots

I plan to repack and change out all 4 rubber CV boots (both sides) on my rear axles (93 LS - no air suspension). Anybody did this before? The boots are not broken but I saw a lot of dust collecting on both axles. I need help with any hint and/or pointer on how to make it goes smoothly... During the years, I replaced a few FWD CV boots but never RWD Lexus. Thanks in advance.

Default Replacing boots

Thanks, since they are 9 years old rubber and no longer look and feel soft, I want to change them out as prevention. With the way they look, they can tear anytime.

You'll have to drop the exhaust down( from the hangers at the rear) and take 6 bolts(10mm Hex.) out and rotate the wheel while you're removing the axle. The less is just like doing the FWD.
