I would recommend replacing the entire cv axle as one unit. They are reasonably priced around $80 to $100 for each axle. Basically you remove the nut from the axle, then undo the front brake assembly, and unbolt the front suspension from the ball joint. you can now press out the axle from the bearing on the knuckle and then press out the axle from the transmission. You may find that some fluid will leak out of the transmission when you remove the axle. I try to jack up the car on one side higher than the other to keep the fluid loss to a minimum. Then put everything back (axle,knuckle,balljoint,nut,brakes) and you are good to.
I just changed both axles on my 99 Altima, GXE yesterday. First you remove the wheels and the axle nuts from both wheels. Next you remove the 2 bolts on each side holding the A arm to the strut. Next you may have to remove the caliper from the hub, but I didnt have to. Slide the hub assembly around out of the way the axle will pull out of the wheel hub, once you have the axle out of the wheel hub on the drivers side give it a couple of good tugs, the axle should slide out into your hand and the drivers side is done. The passenger side on the other hand has a slip yoke in the center of the axle you remove the 3 bolts from that, give it a couple of tugs and its out and your ready to reverse everything and put it all back together.
