I'm doing CV joints, buying a tube of grease rather than the 4 initial bags of it was my first (and only so far) mistake. I had to put about 1/4 of the tube into a ziplock sandwich bag, zipped it shut and cut a corner off to squeeze it into the joints. My pitman puller worked GREAT to pull the joint off the shaft, I had to take the joint apart first but it works well with zero stress to the parts. Good directions in the Bentley for reassy the joint.
