We took a grease gun and filled it up with grease. Cost... free.

Drove it about 100 miles today with no further problems. Plan on getting a new axel for it in a week or so.

You will have to eventually replace the entire axle.

It isn't hard, just time consuming if it is your first DIY. The show can do it easily as well.

CVJ axle's mailed me rebuilt axles that I have on right now. They're doing very well.

The oil however will spill out quickly, wrap the entire joint in duct tape and you can drive for a few thousand miles before replacing them
