If your joints aren't knocking or making any noises I'd just clean them up, give them some electrolysis De rusting, and 're grease and boot them. They've lasted this long, I'd rather fit good known used ones than some shoddy cheap replacements, I've had some very poor ones in the past for various cars. Granted, oem ones are available at more monies, but if they're not broke, don't fix em, spend the money elsewhere.
given track work, i'd expect the nearside oones to need replacing Andy...grab the shaft and see how much play there is in there, I was quick suprised on mine and replaced both the front and rear ones and they felt good and tight compared to the slack original ones. Inner cv is easy to get off, they are on a circlip from memory and slide out. The outer can be a b*tch though...I had a thread somewhere that documented the fun I had last summer
You must have those mixed up, my routers came off fairly easily, wind the hub bolt in and it pops the joint off the shaft, retained by a spring clip. The inners do have a circlip holding the joint on the shaft, but I had to best the living $h1t out of mine to get the inner race to "slide" off!

I agree the inner ones are often a complete nightmare. I had to press mine off last time
How much movement should there be in the joints? Neither have any noticeable rotational movement but one allows more axial movement to than the other. If feels like the cage is ever so slightly binding on the inside of the outer ring and limiting the movement a bit. Which is normal?
I've taken both to bits and cleaned them and while a little wear is visible, I've not seen anything that's damage or serious wear.

Went for the SKF 8005 inner CVs with some replacement outer boots, as I wasn't happy with the difference between the 2 inner CVs I removed. I've completely dismantled my shafts and have cleaned the outers and rebuilt them, so am just waiting for the parts now. In the meantime, I'll strip and paint the shafts, to offer a little protection and neaten things up.
Been quite interesting to do and something that I've meant to do for a while, as they're all original, bar the outer CV boots, which I replaced 8 or 9 years ago.
I'll look in to doing the rears at some point too, as well as the prop...
