Typically CV-Joints are easily replaceable. Most have splines in the center
and is secured to the axle by a circlip. The other side has a flange that
is bolted onto the CV-Joint and is splined on the other end so that it
slides onto the other shaft and likewise is held on by a clip.

I've always been told that those things can't be fixed. However you
could take it by a driveshaft shop such as works on trucks, have them
weld on a new joint or do whatever they do.
