You cannot get replacement rubber boots that are a proper fit, you however can rig something up. I would suggest for getting the ball joints out of the hub, a bolt and nut that fit, or use spacers.

What you do is put the nut just onto the bolt, thread it flush. Then put the spacers in on top of the king nut on the ball joint, and put the bolt nut combo inbetween the 2 king nuts, then loosen the nut on the bolt, making them "expand" one of the ball joints will pop out, then you might have to get another spacer and do it again for the other side.

Sorry very hard to explain, if you need I'll get a pic for you when I can.

I took a bicycle tube and cut it into sections and just zip tied it like a sleeve around the boot and filled it full of grease.
