You can reboot and install a new outer CV joint for a lot less and if you don't yank the axle off the diff you don't need to replace the seal.

I guess I figured I would be better off with a new axle since my boots have been torn for almost two years now! Repairing the boot is not an option as I'm hearing ticking and clunking. That link you sent is for a new joint and boot, correct? I guess if I changed the actual CV joints and not just the boot I would be okay. Would you say the labor to replace the joint and boot is easier than the axle itself? I thought I would have to take the axle out just to do that repair. I do like that this route costs less...
Thanks!
