Don't go new. Pull the shaft and take it to an axle shop for rebuild, shouldn't be any more than $100-$150 depending on what needs replacing.

As far as pulling the CV-shaft, well, every 'Zu-head should experience that exciting challenge at least once <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
