I put all the grease into the boot and leave the joint dry. After I bolt the cv up to the axle stub/transaxle, I push the boot toward the joint and force the grease into it. It also seems to make the boots last longer too, coating the inside of them with CV grease.

My CV/axle units arrive today and I didn't think about packing it till now. So, is there an easy way? Thanks as usual. Bill H. 88GL
