That grease is a mess, but once you get it apart I have heard that soaking it in a bucket of kerosene will dissolve the old grease and let you put in new fresh grease. If you think you might ever do a track day you may want to consider a higher temp grease like Redline CV-2. With the axle off, you can also change the outer boot too by sliding it down the shaft and off the same end as the inner boot. As much of a hassle as it is to get the axles in and out you don't want to have to go back in anytime soon.
I though Meir had a thread about axles and CV Joints but I can't seem to find it to share - hopefully he will chime in on this thread.
Good luck!
