Default Should i try repacking my CV Joints?

my front outer boots are broken, i dont hear any clicking and im wondering if i should try to just clean them and repack them, or if i should forget that and just replace them.

If i replace them i was told to do it with some used axles from someone who is parting out a car cause the OEM ones wont ever go bad as long as they are packed, would that be the best option for replacing them if needed?

Default K, im going to do all 4 corners at the same time, ive never repacked before...

Is it self explanitory? ive replaced the axles before but i havent redone the boots ever. im going to swap the front joints from side to side but idk really how to clean them out and whatnot. do i use a solvent or anything or just wipe it clean? thanks bro.
