Rebooting tie rod/drag link

Discovered a couple leaking boots where the passenger side tie rod and drag link meet. MB still sells the boot kit for about $6 a boot. Nothing fancy, just the rubber and the two retaining rings.

Anyone done this before?

Seems I need a balljoint separator and/or a pickle fork -though haven't seen one of those in action. What type of grease to use? Anything I should know?
