Well, I ordered the axles from carquest, 2 for a total of $160, which when added to the $50 I have to pay to ship the new axles back to paragon, comes to $210, which is almost half price of the new axles ....
I also found the tool at NAPA, about 3 inches long, and takes an 8mm socket to drive it with a 1/4" wrench ... If anyone is interested, I can post the tool part number for reference. It was 6 bux, and it was called an 8mm Serrated bit, not a 'star' bit, in the NAPA manual. For the past few days, there has been no real clicking sound coming from the axles, but rather a low friction-like sound that repeats every time the wheel turns. The axle that was clicking has a leaky CV boot, as I can see the grease coming out where the circlip is missing. Thank you all for the tips, and I'll keep you posted on the progress. E

Carquest no longer sells them!
Just talked to Carquest, and they no longer sell the 944 CV axle assemblies. Apparently they said they had to warranty too many of them and they were not a profitable item for them.
I just checked with Pep Boys, however, and they do sell them and they are $79 per complete assembly plus a refundable core charge. Just wanted to update everybody on this! Tifosiman
