Inner axle boot torn

My 2000 S (US, 6-spd.) has a torn left inner CV boot. Since the inner joint is held in place with six allen screws, I'm wondering if it's possible to simply unbolt the screws and swing the axle downward (pivoting on the outer joint, which already appears to have a new boot) so I can change the boot and regrease it without pulling the whole axle. The tear looks really fresh and there's no grease slung about the radius of the joint.

Possible?

It is possible to change the inner boots without removing the whole axle. You have to drop the exhaust to get enough room though.
