Can you post a pic of the cvshaft etc.

The shaft may just be broken. In that case you may be able to weld it together and put a new boot on. That's the minimal way of spending money.

If the cv joint has broken, then you will need to source a new joint off a wreck.
 
As a temporary fix, you can remove the inner boot clips and boot. Remove the inner race of the joint and remove the axle.

The inner joint in the diff is held in by a small clip. You'll need to leave the outer joint in place if you're going to ride it, as it holds the wheel bearing together.

If the spline on the shaft is still ok, you can simply buy a new/2nd hand outer joint and repack the inner.
 
This may help explain how it's all held together.



#59 is the axle nut. It threads onto the end of the outer cv joint and holds all the wheel bearing and brake disc together.

The cv shaft isn't pressed into the hub, it just slides through the bearing etc and the nut gets done up.

It amazes me how some people abuse their machinery.

Money must come easy to them.

I've seen many SxS's and quads on farms that just get flogged till they don't go no more.

I don't get it. :TgC_emoticon142:
