Well I am getting ready to tackle the rear bearings, I have new bearings(FAG brand) and the tools to pull and press the new ones in. I Have a new motor mount, new lubricant for my 6S tranny. I also bought new CV joint boots and new stainless rings and new grease all from Pelican (Thanks for such fast shipping).

My question is on the CV joints, my boots look worn (2001 model with 70K miles) but no splits, when I take the boots off should I just wipe as much lubricant as I can off and re charge with the new lubricant.....will this be OK ?

I know it would be better to put this in a parts washer and get it steril clean and then re lube but I have no real way to do this ??

THanks
Dwight
