This needs to be fixed fast. The longer dirt and grit are allowed to migrate and stay in there, the more wear and tear the parts will be subjected to. I know I've seen the split-type boot for other cars. These boots make it much easier to replace the torn originals. You do not have to remove the axle. Before you replace the boot though, make sure you clean out the joint EXTREMELY well. You have to get all the dirt out, or you will be replacing that joint in the near future.
