You can replace the boot, but if the joint is already making noise the axle will eventually fail. If you want to fix the boot dieselgiant has a guide on doing it.
In my case it was just cheaper to get rebuilds from CVJ and send the cores back to them. I don't own the flex boot gun so the decision was to just replace the entire axle shaft.
Edit: Mr. Stanley broke a record with duct tape joints
