1989 chevy s10 blazer cv join?

I just purchased a 89 chevy s10 blazer (4.3 engine), due to years of neglect, it has a few issues (but for $100 its not at all bad), the drivers side cv joint is pretty bad, lots of loud clunking in 4wd, and it's very loose, not to mention half the boot is gone.



I have changed quite a few cv joints in the past, but was wondering on this version, do you have to pop the ball joint out, to replace the cv joint, or can you leave it alone to replace ??



If the ball joint has to be seperated, then ill just change those while I am at it, otherwise, they will wait until later..just trying to budget $$ for the repair.
