Replacing CV joint

Well, I've just come back from a 4000 mile trip to Kansas in my '79 930. Now the rear end is making a horrific metal-on-metal noise. After jacking up the car and removing the driver's side wheel, it looks like the outer CV joint boot has disintigrated at some time during the trip.

So, what parts in the CV joint will need to be replaced? The boot and the joint obviously, along with the CV removal tool and grease. But what other parts do I need to order to get this job done right?

I noticed that the 101 projects book says I can replace the entire axle with both CV joints, but that's a lot more expensive on a '79 930 than it is on most 911s.

Anyway, this is my first post here. I have been reading this forum and ordering parts from Pelican for about 6 months - that was when I bought my first Porshe. I've been a Volkswagon person for many years, and still have a '67 Deluxe Bus that I've done a lot of work on. I just thought I would see how I liked its rich cousin
