If it's not making noise when turning, just reboot it. So long as there's not a lot of moisture in the grease, don't clean it out, just add a bit more grease to replace what's leaked out. CV joints aren't finicky about a little surface corrosion inside.
Don't get an "easy" split boot; their lifespan is measured in minutes. Get the factory-style boot.
My son wrecked his 2005 Altima a couple years ago, bending the driver's control arm and strut, and breaking the outer CV knuckle. We got an axle out of a 2008, and then found out the inner knuckle is different. We disassembled both axles and made a hybrid. We didn't change any of the grease, and I didn't have any CV grease on hand, so we scooped extra grease out of the unused 2008 inner knuckle. We put it back together and it ran great... until the head gasket blew. I would not hesitate to do this on a vehicle I rely on. CV's aren't rocket science.
