This is not up to your normal level of detail......

I stock and use Astoria Flexx boots. they are a very pliable rubber that can stretch over the outer joints with an expansion tool, or funnel... they come with axle grease (not enough for an entire joint though) and stainless steel crimp rings. I also have extra crimp rings, and tons of left over grease, since I primarily use 74W140 synthetic oil in the 123/126 axles.
any auto parts store should stock CV joint grease, and the crimp rings. they could also be sourced on ebay I'm sure. the crimp pliers are not pricey at all... around 20.00
