Buy the OEM boots kit from a Toyota dealer. (FJ Cruiser part number is a match). Get some vinyl/rubber gloves.
You may want to go to auto-parts store and rent the axle nut socket. This is the only "custom" tool you need.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was away for two weeks, sorry for not replying to you sooner. Would you happen to have the part number the FJ uses. Thanks

And to make life even easier, you can even get it from Amazon ($36):

both sides on mine were leaking and one was almost totally dry. I got the full resbuilt axles from Napa and had a trusted mechanic swap them out and had him throw on some better rotors and pads while he was at it. That was over two years ago and all has been well. The breaks have never been better with no warping.
