You did the right thing. Nothing worse than cleaning out a CV joint and putting it back together. On Eclipses we always just buy a new axle rather than deal with it because it ends up only being like $50 more than replacing the CV joint. Of course, that's not Porsche Prices.
$85 for that sort of job, money well spent!
JackG, 10 hours sounds excessive. Shouldn't they be taking figures from a standard labor sheet rather than guessing about it??
