driveshaft problems

[dsmmike50t]

For about a day know I've noticed a clanking sound coming from the front drivers side. This morning it got real bad, so I decided to check it out and it turns out that the damn cv joint boot clamp fell off and know theres no grease inside. Anyone know if this is reusable. I'm pulling the driveshaft off right know. Can I just follow the procedure below or do I need a new driveshaft.

Once dirt gets into a CV joint , its trashed.

Once a CV joint starts clicking it is junk. Get a rebuilt axle. Raxles does awesome work and has reasonble prices. I have purchased from them several times. Excellent customer service.
