Wow thanks for the inside. I actually called to stop the repair. Luckily the part did not come in as planned and for now the work is on hold. I'm looking into other options as I will need to bring the loaner back within a day or two. I'm in north NJ anyone know of a shop?

Did I mention the dealer told me since the parts already ordered they will have a problem since its "special ordered" I didn't say much when I was told that just let them know I'll get back to them in about 24 hours.

I wouldn't consider this screwing them over. I would turn this totally around and say they are trying to screw you. Compare other quoted prices with theirs and ask why a fully equipped shop with lifts cant get the job done for the same amount? Sounds like you've done a lot of business with them, bring that up.
Another idea, the CV shaft/AXLE is $208 with a lifetime warranty at any auto parts store. Maybe hop on craigslist classifieds and have a local mechanic get it installed for ya on his own time. My sister does that all the time in Seattle. They bring all of their own tools and are happy to get your business without it being taxed and always quote far cheaper than they deserve.
