Driveshafts worn can i service them?

[Taggy]

My cars CV boots had come undone and spat all the grease everywhere, only problem now is that the bearings inside the boots have worn as there was no lube and they now creek and click when i pull away from a stand still.

Obviously there quite chunky pieces of metal, do i need to buy complete new drive shafts, or is there a way to replace the bearings on them. I noticed you can replace the parts which stick into the gearbox, but i think its the bearings inside those green plastic cup things have had it.

How do i repair this?

I know on some cars you can buy like aftermarket cv joints.... but others you need to buy the whole driveshaft...... maybe a scrapyard might be an option to see if they have any?? or a starlet breaker. as your more likely to get a whole unit than be able to get just the bearings if you know that i mean.

i take it there clicking now and there lubed up???? or no grease present in the joint??
