The driver's side has a circlip on the tranny end. You need a crow bar or large screwdriver to force the axle out of the tranny. The axle gets 'tapped' back in to lock the circlip in place.

It is real hard to kill a CV joint. Until it becomes loose and clicks when turning or sucks up a lot of sand or salt, it can be salvaged.

If you want to spend 2-3 hours taking the axle apart and putting in new grease, fine. That is your call. Be sure to have a hazmat truck near to collect all of the greasy rags and cleaning solution :>)
