Here's my advice, for what it's worth. Take your drive axle to an automotive axle rebuilder, if you have one nearby. Have them take a look at if it can be rebuilt without grinding below the hardening depth. If it can be done, let them do it. Ask around and see who is reputable. If you don't have someone like that around, ask your dealership if they can get you a Nissan factory rebuilt unit. I DON'T advise getting a rebuilt unit from Autozone or the like because mostly they come from Mexico or similar and they just hog the CV joints down past the hardening depth and use oversize parts to rebuild. I made that mistake on one drive axle; we'll see how long it lasts but it's enough of a pain to replace that I wouldn't want to do it again any sooner than I have to. Hope this helps.
