I think I would considering just buying a whole different axle. YOu can find a cheapy rebuilt at any local autoparts store for around $60. For a little cheaper you can find a used one in a wrecking yard.

It looks to me like it ran out of grease, which is a little unusual on the inner axle joint. And I don't think the scoring is normal, either. Especially on a part time wheel drive. I sure don't recall any of my inner CVs looking that way.

If your really short on cash, you could probably get away with it, since it's not your primary drive and you always have rear wheel drive, if it breaks.

Good luck.
