You are probably going to have to find a local driveline shop to access it. Then either have it repaired or replaced as needed.
You may find an internet source that could save you some money, may take longer though, and you would be replacing the entire thing instead of just the worn end.
yup, if your joint is that worn, your centering ball is prob. just as worn out. shredded my front d.shaft last year-centering ball, wrecked, all u-joints, wrecked, slip shaft, ripped off splines. $460 for complete rebuild, cv was the most expensive part-$240. the d.shaft shop had a all new shaft-almost $800, they are worth fixing, unless you can CL's a cheap good one
