JFK, thank you for the grease recommendation, I would like to get the same brand (even from the dealer) to avoid mixing different grease brands.

For some reason, I keep thinking about the Alaska MD80 that crashed off the coast of CA, the accident report blame the accident to over extended maintenence and also because the mechanics use a different kind of grease that was not compatible with the one on the jackscrew, the new grease mix ended acting as a sand paper that wore the treads of the jackscrew very quickly causing the assembly to fail.

In my case, the car had 40k miles and I would like to prevent premature wear on the CV joints.

Bill, I bought the ottinger style clamps (not the boots) from F C P Euro.
