CV joints and axles

[gharari]

not sure. I used the grease that came with the cv joint kit. The kit came with a new snap ring, boot, package of grease, and two boot clips.

I actually had a mechanic rebuild the axles. I tried to get the cv joint apart, but it was pretty stubborn and I was not sure I was doing it right. Also, I didn't have the special crimping tool needed for the boot clips. So I brought the axels down to my mechanic and It cost me $85 to have this done. I then brought the rebuilt axels home and installed them.

The mechanic did a better job at cleaning the CV joints than I could have done. He had a parts washer bin, etc. to do the job right.
