As long as you have not been in any water you should be OK with just rebanding. Iy you have been in water be sure to take apart, clean, regrease and install new boot and clamps. I recomend the stock boot because they are much easier because they fit better and have better clamps.

well only you can really tell if you have been in any water/mud or not. if theres any doubt what so ever, do your self a favor and TAKE IT APART and regrease it! its way cheaper then replacing the cv joint when the dirt/water ruins the cv joint. imo.

Ditto! Save yourself some heartache and make sure it is cleaned/regreased.
