I never did the inner boots but when I did my wheel bearings/outer boots last year the only thing I needed to take off was the rotor, brake caliper (although I don't think you need to), and the 2 lower strut bolts. If you disconnect the bottom of the strut it should be plenty of room to maneuver the axle and inner joint out of the tripod. If you undo the clamps on the inner boot it should pop right out and leave the inboard axle side attached to the diff.
