Well, this was much simpler than I expected. Here are some pics and details of the process disassembling annular style axles to replace the boots. I only wish I found out about this before purchasing a transmission fluid funnel. Oh well Im sure it will come in handy for other things.

First step: removing allen bolts. I had to use a 5/16th allen socket as I had no metric that size, but i believe the nearest metric equivalent would be a 8mm. The 5/16th I used had a pretty snug fit. i wouldnt have known the difference.
