Warning: Have a drain pan ready to catch the goop when you loosen the CV bolts. I have never been able to wash that stuff out of my coveralls. You'll need new CV grease, and it's a great time to install new boots if required. You'll also need to fill the transmission to its normal level, so it is also a good time to completely drain and fill the transmission with fresh gear oil if it's that time.
