CV joint grease isn't something that ever requires changing. The joints won't
last anylonger replacing the grease. The labor to remove each shaft and all 4
joints, repack and replace the boots isn't cost effective. You're better off
waiting for a boot to tear or a joint to wear. So when there is a problem
with a joint on one drive shaft, you replace both joints with new ones. See
ya, Michael.
