Cleaning cvs

[Ben Lessani]

Got my £6.50 driveshatfs in the post today and was gonna do nothing other than change the boots, got one of and the grease is just black so im gonna have to clean em up. Any ideas on where to even start? Plus how the f**k do you take of the wheel end boot?

CV grease (moly grease) is black anyway, can't see any real reason to clean it unless the boot came off completely.

If you don't know the history of the joints, it would be silly not to clean them and re-grease when they are off the car

Sorry, but grease is not just grease, was only trying to help using the wrong grease will shorten the life of the joint.

That'll do it, probs cheaper from a motor factors.

DON'T use copper slip or normal grease - needs to be moly grease for CV joints!!

worthwhile cleaning them,  they last much longer.  it's an easy enough job but not pleasent.  hello of a lot cheeper than new ones ( esp  for those of us with 10 of the buggers )
