I guess that takes care of my question.
Unlike most CV joints, yours would have originally contained oil, not grease.

If your axle is otherwise sound, you might want to consider replacing the boots with the Astoria 2000 stretch boot. I did that on my '82 300D several years ago and have been happy with the result.
