The OUTER CV Boot always tears first because of the fact that the car is turned R and L thousands of times.

However, the rule of thumb is: whenever replacing the OUTER CV Boot, you may as well replace the INNER CV boot.
This is because once the OUTER CV Joint is disassembled from the Shaft, replacing the INNER Boot is very very easy.
No need to disconnect the INNER CV Joint, you simply remove the old INNER boot and slide in the new INNER boot.
 
"GKN/LĂ–BRO" makes CV joints for millions of vehicles out there, from BMW, Volvo, Mercedes to Honda etc.

The principle is the same when you change the CV boot. Most of the time, you use a DRIFT and hammer the OUTER CV Joint out. But the Shaft has to be clamped to a Vise first (wrap some rubber around it to hold the shaft on the Vise).

Here is a DIY I wrote for my 1998 Volvo V70 CV Boot, again the principle is the same for Honda:
