I did it on my old W123 and hated every second of it. Stretching that narrow inner side of the boot over the CV joints is the very essence of asinine frustration. I got it to work, but right at that time I had access to a parts car and just swapped in a set of good CV axles with good boots. Nothing beats those original boots.
I recommend trying with a cheap Dorman CV boot kit before going for the big bucks and risking tearing the more expensive kit that you linked.
Good luck!
