yea pull the 2 14mm bolts holding the slave on. pul whats left of your old boot off slide the new on up near the trans. put your slave back on. do not disconnect the fluid line to the slave just let it hang when you take it off. then feed the rear portion of the boot and about half the sides till its up to the fork over the lip. then have some one step on the clutch, this will make the slave cyl push the fork back, have them hold it down while you feed the front portion of the boot over the lip.

Mine is torn a little. How important do you think it is to replace it?

its a boot to prevent water from entering. water can damage a clutch. how important it is has to do with where you drive your car. If you drive in snow or rain flooded streets I would. if not its not that big of a deal.
