Re-greased and put new boots on the CV's today - took me about 4 hours.
Does it take everyone this long, or am I the slowest mechanic in the west?
Also, has anyone out there ever actually felt the difference between
newly-packed CV's and old ones while the van is driving, or am I imagining
things?  I am not imagining the fact that I don't hear that "click, click,
click" when I make tight turns at low speed anymore.

Drove to the YMCA to pick up my daughter from a birthday party - must have
been Vanagon day at the Y.  Counting my van, there were two standard
Vanagons, two Westfalias and one Country Homes Vanagon conversion in the
lot.
