help with axle!!

i broke the front left axle on my 88crx with b16a. anyway, should i hire someone to repair it for 80 bucks or should i try to work it out myself? it seems very hard to do though, taking everything off and all.

It is easy to replace the axle so if you are mecahnically inclined grab a service manual and do it yourself. However, you seem unsure so you may want to have a shop do it.
