Need to re pack the cv boot with grease. I cant get a new cv boot & oil till tuesday

what grease is the best to put in?

also, when it split, oil pissed out

would this be a seal gone and diff oil pouring out?

 

CV Grease!! Its the only thing to use really. Should be able to get it from Halfords??

Doesn't sound right to me, but then I have a bean tin. I would have said that a seal has gone somewhere.

 

I seem to remember when Tonys CV split that the grease was like oil.

 

It was like proper thick greese. Not runny like oil.

 

oh me corrected then.

It made enough smoke like burning oil when it went, but then you wasnt hanging about if i remember

 

S-M1C75-A
or
SQM-1C9004-A
or
Mobil Rex E22

From memory

This is the spec advised for the rear

 

just use normal cv grease that will be fine for it

 

The CV joint is self contained and will only hold CV grease. The only way in for anything it through the boot so it's totally unrelated to the diff. What the oil is, is just basically CV grease which has thinned out.

 

great, thanks Daz (and others )

 

Dave - if you're a bit skint, just use an old bit of chip pan grease...............








oh no, shit, don't do that................... then you will have nothing to style your hair with

 

As Daz says

 

no, im not

 

pmsl @ mcpikie

 

If you buy a FORD CV boot, it will come with the correct grease to use

 

Good point and messy shit it is too.....
