I used the grease that came with the flex boot and some 90w gear oil ... have been running down the road for about 20k now ... no problems with the flexx boot , grease , and 90w gear oil ... let you guys know when they wear out could be a while..... mercedes uses oil for their half shafts by the way .... I used the Flexx boot pneumatic tool fast and easy to use ... anyway have fun

I wished I'd have used a combo of the grease and some gear oil. I went with the grease because the Astoria folks weren't sure the flexx boots would seal in the gear oil well enough.

Sorry Ryan. I just saw your post. I don't think Astoria shows the cone online but if you call them they will sell you the cone. I think they prefer to sell their Flexx gun but they still have the cone if you ask them.
