Replacing the rubber dust boots on my ball joints

I used a pickle fork to take my front drum brake spindles off and i ruined the rubber part of the ball joints. I was wondering if i could just replace those and it will be fine. I would replace the ball joints but haveing them pressed in and grinding the old rivets out seems like too much work to replace a perfectly good ball joint. Suggestions please. thanks.,

You can usually find them in the Help section at a parts store. Help is now a name brand of general replacement parts.
