Thanks everyone - I guess I'll be pulling the complete driveshafts out then.....

Smallblock = the current boots were installed by Porsche (under warranty) so I would assume genuine. As for grease, I'm using Castrol LLM which has a high molybdenum disulphide content.

I have just checked and my biggest torque wrench only goes up to 250 ft/lb, so I better break it to my wife that there's another purchase on the horizon - its her birthday next week, perhaps she would like a nice new 350 ft/b torque wrench,,,,,
There again, better not, I'm not in her good books at the moment !!
