i just replaced both my half shafts in my toyota. its really not that bad to do. id recommend replacing the half shafts instead of just repacking it with grease and putting on a new boot. Once the grease has been let out of the joint and you hear the "clunk clunk" you have done unfixable damage to the cv joint.
not to bash on you eaglek, but just to set the record straight. is not a good idea at all to drive around on a broken cv joint. they can freeze up if they are let go too long. just like an engine without oil. if they freeze up and youre driving along...big trouble. also, they can actually break from the thermal stress induced by the fact that they are not properly lubercated. and if they break, well you wont be driving anywhere.
