I'd NEVER use wheel bearing grease in a CV joint!!!!
only job specific alxe lube grease, or Mobil1 Synthetic gear oil.

Will axle-specific lube from Autozone or NAPA be good enough? I have Mobil 1 gear oil, but how can you pack the joint with oil? Inject it into the boot?
When using the grease, do I need to put some grease inside the boot in addition to the joint itself?
Maybe I'm overengineering this ...  . But I'd really not find out down the road that I did something wrong after all the time and money I've spent.
