Default Steering gaiter replacement

Hi
Can anyone enlighten me on how to change a damaged steering rack gaiter on a 1997 S40 2 litre CD (drivers side). There is very little room between the gaiter and a heat shield and a whole host of other bits. The Haynes manual unhelpfully says release retaking clips and remove gaiter. The gaiter is the original and even if I could get to it the clip looks pretty trick and is marked “G35Q” - is a special tool required and is it reusable? I have attached a couple of pictures for information.
