Joanna,
a while back, my front inner cv went out and i had it rebuilt vs
replaced.  I happened to find a specialty shop that did only CV and axle
rebuilds.  This was cheaper than buying a rebuilt half shaft assembly
(which i would have had to install) and waaaaaaay cheaper than getting
the VW dealer to do it (locally, the dealer has a specialty shop do
their work for them, so they are just middle men taking profit).  The
specialty shop did the whole job: removal of half shaft and rebuilding,
repainting, rebooting of both CVs on the half shaft and re installation
for $190.

(for SLC list members, this shop is CV axle express on the east side of
west temple, just south of 2100s)

later,
fred
