Might not even have to pull the axle - not sure how the type 44 is set 
up, but on my 90q all I had to do was pull tire, remove axle bolt, drop 
the ball joint to get some play, pull axle stub out of hub, and use axle 
bolt to pop the CV joint & stub off the axle.  Clean, install new grease 
and boot and reassemble.

I wouldn't bother with the inner boot unless it looks bad or you do have 
to pull the whole axle to do the job.
