Default Disc Brake Caliper Piston Boot Replacement

Is it easy to change the F/R Disc Brake Caliper Piston Boots?
Mine are all torn.

Default Boots

I found a part number for a set of 4 for the rear. Only found individual parts for front. Same for you?

Wouldn't torn boots be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty? It doesn't seem like this would be considered routine maintenance.
