Ugh - Personally i would determine the plan of action on how long you want to keep the car. The rebuilt axles tend to be junk quality - hence the price.
Just about the only thing involved in swapping a CV, beyond the full axle procedure - is r&r of the boot itself, and the c-clip on the axle underneath it. There's no rebuilding involved, simply swapping the CV on the end of the axle. Keep everything spotless-clean, and use CV grease (molybdenum EP rated). Try not to leave any air space in the boot when clamping it back on.
CV's don't get rebuilt so much as remanufactured - the only thing that can be done to save a bad one is to re-machine the grooves and installing bigger ball bearings in it.
