Yes. You need the thin wrench (check out local bicycle shops and ask for a cone wrench). You can get the old one off w/a regular wrench b/c you don't care if you butcher the boot, but you'll want the thin wrench to put the new one on.
Jack both sides up or you won't be able to do this as the bar is under tension when one side is up and the other is on the ground!
The wheel/tire assembly is f'n heavy, so watch your back.
Good time to look at brake pad thickness and rotor thickness, bushings, etc.
It's an easy job. Just check my 18mm size for the thin wrench before you tear everything apart. I'm pretty sure it is 18mm but it might be 16mm. I haven't done it in ages...
