Hi Jim, Grate question, and good timing for me, I’ve packed often as I do it every time a boot fails and I’m getting really good at boot changes. What is the preferred CV grease these days? I want to keep some on hand for the next packing, and I’m fresh out. Also what is the best source for CV bolts and washers as I’d like to change mine for best quality I can get at the next change.
