| Post subject: | CV Grease |
I am about to repack both the inner (rodchange) and outer cv's and I am unsure what the best grease to use is. Any help would be great. Pete |

molyibyr....ium grease commonly known as moly grease it is black or dark grey stuff and is used for low temperature applications. You get a tube sometimes with your CV boots if you are lucky  
Sorry I can't remember the 'proper' name but it is known as moly grease |

Well, i had a "Friend" who put a stroker 202 Holden Engine together.... Moly grease on the big ends, mains, hell, why not, some on the bores too.. make it easier to put together.... 1500 Klm later - still blowing smoke .. Whip the head off ... Bores look like they have never been touched.... So, a new set of rings later and it was a sweet little thing....227 Cui f Holden Grunt... J |

Are you gonna use metal clips or cable ties? |

Cable ties suck on CVs.. they catch in the swivel hub. Go the metal clips. CV repairers have 'em. Ties are OK (just) on pot joints. If you tighten them good...

In the old days....I used Tie Wires....wrapped arond maybe two-three times then....twist, twist, twist.....then lay twisted ends down flat.... they seemed to work fine....used the same technique on sis in laws leaking tina steering rack some years back....she hasn't complained since

The metal straps work great. I just checked my work on the pot joints and CVs this weekend after a year of service, they're holding on great. Cost about 50c for one at a CV place in granville. They also sell tubes of moly. I did use a special metal strap tool to get them tight though, works like magic |
