ball joints help

I broke an axle and trans-oil seal replaced it but made almost every ball joint ooze out grease.
The bottom ball joint did not give up.

I got it home driving slow and carefully because I herd clicking when I turn the wheel?

I figured its the ball joints. that oozed out. SO is there any possible way to replace the boots OR put grease back in them?

I been researching that you cant just change the ball joints and stuff.
Is it possible to just reboot and repack grease?

The outter tie rod .the lower ball joint on the knuckle and the top ball joint on the control arm. sounds expensive already!

You can just replace the boots and repack the grease. Just call your dealer and order them. The cost per boot are around $10. I suggest you get a Helms manual and look at the replacement steps. The lower and upper ball joints have a metal clip at the base of each boot and its a real pain to get it on without damaging the boot. There is a special tool you need to do it correctly but if you look at the manual, you can probably make something to do the same job. I have used a fairly large socket to get it on...but I strongly suggest getting the tool.
