Ball joint repacking

I was doing the usual inspection of the front end and found the main ball joint (lower control arm to hub on a super) has a split boot. There seems to be no play, but a bit of gunk in them.

Does anybody know if you can jsut clean them out and repack and where to get new boots? or do I have to get them replaced?

Cheers

Drew

2 bolt or 3?

ive repacked and replaced the boot on a 3 bolt b4 but it was a messy and tedious job
lesson learned was just replace

pretty sure u can still get boots new
