cv joints

Yeah, logically you'd think that but the main deciding factor is time. According to my How to Keep...Alive book, it's a few hr process at least, for a first timer. With working about 50hrs and taking 14 credits, I just don't have that much time to wrench on my car. I may still do it myself anyways as I'm really...eh...'frugal.' ;)

 If the wrench charges $100 and tools to do it yourself run $80......BUY THE TOOLS, MAN!

While we're on the subject of cv joints, my 84 rocc needs an outer pass. side. The boot has been torn for awhile now, but no clicking noise yet. I have an axle for the driver's side, which is shorter but I was wondering if I could swap CV joints. This will be done by a mechanic because the tools I would need to do it myself cost $80 and the mechanic is charging around $100. What's the most cost effective way to do this? Give him my driver's axle to swap, buy a new cv joint or buy a whole new pass. axle?
