Thanks to all who provided me with advice on the removal of the outer front CV joints to replace broken boots.  The whole procedure went without a hitch but it still took me 5 and a half hours from start to finish.
 
The CV joints look like they were 'overbuilt' for the job.  No damage appears to have been done as a result of having lost the protective barrier provided by the boots.  I think that I may have driven as many as 5000 miles before realizing they were broken (I have known for a year that they were not in good shape and would need to be replaced--was just too busy to get around to it).
 
Again, many thanks.
