Tell us more - I need to do the same thing! if you just disconnect the CV at the transaxle, can you wiggle the old boot off and the new one on? or is there more to it?

No, you definetly have to remove the complete driveshaft, because you need to open the CV to change the boot. Take a look in the workshop manual.

To remove the catalytic converter is an alternative. But - never touch a running system.
