OK, I can understand not having a place to work BUT-


You get a few extensions for the ratchet, a 12 point tripplesquare
driver (it fit's into a 1/2" deep socket so just assign one and tape it
in there with duct tape), a 30 mm socket to pull the axle nut and a 1/2"
drive breaker bar to go with it, and pull the axles from the car.

Take them into the warm and recondition the axles, CVs.

No way this should cost you even $500 for CVs, boots, grease, a few
tools.
