Default C6 '06 lower rear ball joint tear fix with VBP poly boots 31508

i tore the lower ball joint boot attempting to get it out to press in the a arm bushings.
I marked the camber position. the lower a arm is out.

Its as though the existing boot is attached with the ball joint. do you have to take a razor blade and cut it off flush with the bottom?

then fill the VBP 31508 new boot w grease and slide over and you are good?

thanks for the help

There is a wire clip around the base of the boot most likely
