Well this happened to me at Mid Ohio. Small little cut in the inner passenger side CV axle. Quite a mess when you're hauling ass down that track.

I am going to be ordering a CV boot repair kit.
My question is if it's possible to remove the booted section of the CV shaft where it connects inside the carrier bracket/bearing? I really do not want to pry the entire axle out of the transmission risking damage to the trans seal.
Picture below shows the black carrier bearing between the straight shaft connected to the transaxle and then connecting the CV portion of the axle.

Also, is there enough room to remove only this inside shaft from the carrier bearing? I really do not want to remove any suspension parts from the car because I'll have to get an alignment again.
Any help is appreciated!
