Just a comment on the second site (cv_joint_maintenance).  At the top
Ben suggests using a shaved down 7mm Allen head for jamming into a cv
bolt head if it strips using the proper 6mm tool. An easier solution (at
least in the U.S.) is a 1/4" allen head.  It's just .014" (.35mm) larger
than 6mm and is a convenient off the (U.S.) shelf solution for the same
problem.

However, if the Quebecois are as anal about metric as they are about
their language, you could get arrested for bringing an SAE spec tool
into the province.

Other than that, Ben has produced a well designed and very well
photographed page showing the procedure for maintaining CV joints.  If
you haven't done it and want to, look here.  Good work Ben.
