The reman axles are available from a wide variety of sources. I use Pep Boys' house brand at my shop, and have had no problems with them so far, having installed perhaps 150 complete axle assemblies in 6 years.
They run about $75 per side (driver's or passenger's side) retail, plus a refundable core charge. You will likely need a "triple-square" bit to install them, also available from Pep boys (Lisle brand) or maybe Sears. A service manual and floor jack is a must, along with a suitable sized axle nut socket and 1/2" dr breaker bar and assorted hand tools like sockets and ratchets.
It is possible to do it yourself, in the driveway although it isn't fun.
