I found that thinking about the job was actually a lot harder than actually doing the job. Once I started, it took only a little over an hour to remove the axle shafts.

Now I am waiting on an Astoria boot tool to arrive. And I still have to make a decision on CV lube. My joints appear to be in great shape, so it appears that the original oil lube performed well. Problem is, I don't know for sure what type oil to replace it with. I bought some Redline CV-2 grease, which is reported to be great for CV joints, but at NGLI 2, it might be too thick. The other alternative is conventional NGLI 1.5 CV grease. I like the fact that grease won't leak rapidly in the event of a boot failure.

If anyone has any CV lube sea stories, I would be glad to hear them.

Also, any input on the Astoria 3000 boot versus the 3001 boot would be great.
