#1. Get a big can of hand cleaner. #2. You'll need a tri-square tool to remove the CV bolts. #3. Install new boots at the same time. #4. Use high quality molybdenum grease 3 oz per CV joint. #5. New CV joints are very tight, be careful not to let the balls get loose (difficult to get back in). Don't work on but one CV at a time. Never mix the balls from one CV to another (unless you're willing to accept junk). #6. Some CVs just slip right off others require some persuasion. That is about it, should take you about two hours and one roll of hand towels.
