    I don't think that's recommend
    Plus I think most of the differential fluid is gone. I don't want to burn it out

    I highly doubt that's diff fluid. I have driven trucks and cars with busted cv boots for hundreds of miles with no issue other then the grease splatter everywhere. That being said, I wouldn't keep on driving until you fix it asap.

    If you're doing it yourself, get a good pry bar to get the axle out of the differential. They can be a sloot.

    Yep, good LONG pry bar. One of mine came right out, the other side required a trip to harbor freight.

    the key with the CV's is position. The C clip that holds them in place needs to have the opening facing down for it to come out easily. So try to pry it out, if it doesnt go, PUSH IT BACK IN, so there is not pressure on the c clip. Rotate it a sixth of a turn, give it a lil tap to the c clip falls down n try again. If it doesnt work repeat the process. There will be one spot where it literally pops out almost too easy.
