One of the disadvantages of the DIY thing is dealing conscientiously with the waste. Cleaning CV joints is one such headache...once you swab the filthy grease out as some suggest, what are you to do with all the contaminated rags? Burn them? No. Wash them? Mom would ring your neck. Rubbish can? To the landfill and into your grandkids' water supply. Hurray. Another option for you DIY'ers is to take the CVs to a garage that has a parts cleaning basis. Pay them $10 to use the basin and spend 5 minutes cleaning all 4 joints. You save time, and you aren't throwing used axle grease into a landfill on rags. The solvent recovery service deals with the waste per EPA regulations (which are stiffer than the homeowner could comply with and afford a mortgage). Best of luck in our clean world, G.
