How difficult is it to change a cv-joint gaiter?

Iwant to change this myself but dont know if i cando it or is it better to take it to a garage but my budget is limited|||dead easy. either buy a split gaiter kit or buy a normal one and split it with a pair sisscors. wrap it round and glue it together. it should take no more the 30 mins.|||relly bad advice i never have seen this work they rip out relly fast and you cant get the dirt out
