I think this is what people have done in the past- one would assume that the CVs are packed with grease, but no- it is a liquid oil that's in there originally.
I only said get new ones because eventually you will have to get them- I don't believe re-lubing the CVs after you hear that thunk noise will last forever. Good luck though
Sounds like a fun project. Guess I better head over to the shady side of town to pick up some needles.......
