PM me your email and I can send you the pages that show how to replace the boots.

P.S. I see you're in "Napa?" I live in Napa as well... there's a mercedes guy here that is usually pretty helpful and knows a good amount about these W123's. Usually willing to give advice as well. His name is Marc, maybe you already know him?
P.P.S if you ever plan on doing the front lower ball joints I have the tool to press them in. All the shops in the area wanted $100 minimum to press them both in so I just bought the tool
'98 E300 Turbo "Juliette" - Brabus wheels and almost all the options a w210 could have
2007 Chevy 2500HD CCSB Duramax with about 400-500 rwhp depending on the tune I use
1983 300D Silver Exterior/Black inside - Sold and will be missed, may we never meet in a PnP.
Never done it personally... I have the mercedes FSM on my computer that has the procedures for replacing the boots.

there are some pretty interesting youtube videos showing how you can use a lubed up funnel to slide the boot over the can though with it all together. its possible to do without taking the can apart. Never tried it, if you do, post pics!
1974 240D 617 turbo swap, W201 5-speed, in the works project
1983 240D 616 stock, DD
1989 Chevy Astro, 617 turbo swap, T5 5-speed, 4.56 diff, work van
I looked into this too, don't think you can disassemble the cans without grinding off the lip and otherwise destroying the end cap of the cansiter and needing a new cap.
