I don't like this job either. The last time I did it I used a mechanic
friend's solvent tank to clean everything up. I was going to use the Redline
grease but he happened to have some remnants of Amsoil, Swepco, Wurth, and
StaLube moly grease  laying around so I decided to experiment by applying
different greases to some clean ball bearings and cv races to see how it
would pack. If an affinity to stick to metal surfaces is any measure of a
grease's effectiveness then I would rate the Wurth and Swepco a 10 and a 9
with the Amsoil and Redline equal at about a 7. I ended up packing my 2 new
joints with the Redline and the good used ones with Swepco. It was really
noticeable how much better the Swepco grease packed the joints. Just my .02
observation.
