I use some stuff from my FLAPS called 'Mr. Molly' comes in a tub rather than the inconvenient tube for the gun (at least inconvenient for this job!) When i did my 83 diesel vanagon about 2 years/ 20K ago they were clicking and clacking like all hell. One (right side outer) had some real nice metal transfer on the balls and races. I packed them up with a lot of 'Mr Molly' and havent heard a peep from them since. I second advice about wearing old clothes btw!! CVs are covered in FAQ im sure, but note that you dont have to take them off th shaft to repack - you can tilt them enough to get the outer race away from the inner race and the carrier (the holey metal thing) clean out everything with solvent of choice (i use coleman fuel) and about two whole rolls of paper towels BTW if i only had a pinhole i would repack and glue a piece of tape over it but purists will dissent :-)
