How do I replace the boot on the lower control arm

Does anyone know how to replace the boot on the front passenger side lower control arm? Mine is leaking some grease so I want to replace the piece (only cost 15 bucks) but the dealer wants $240 to install it... so **** that. If there is already a thread please link me haha.
Thanks

The whole control arm from Mazda includes are new bushings and ball joint. As Eric said, just replace the whole arm.
