A quick one:

Is it a special grease that goes in there ?
or it's just regular bearing grease ?

It's special stuff
Usually when you buy a CV Boot kit it comes with
the boots, clamps and the grease. I did the
boots on my 855 with boot kits from FCP Groton
came with tubes of MEISTERSATZ - Genuine grease
for constant velocity joints - has lead in it.

After doing both boots on both axles I now
understand why a lot of shops would rather
just replace the axle. It takes some time
to disassemble and clean out the joints.
Probably not cost effective for them to take
the time to do it that way.

Someone gave me a outside boot kit free but no grease came with it and I wannted to know before replacing it. I'll buy a tube at the auto parts

Thanks !

Be sure that you have a new snap ring/circlip as well.

Yes the circlip was included in the kit. BTW: I've replaced the boot on saturday and everything went pretty good except for the circlip because I left the axle in the tranny and I removed only the CV joint and it has been a little bit hard to remove that circlip without the proper tool
