    you planning on replacing the whole shaft presumably. There's a guide on here somewhere, saw it the other week.

    Your not gonna be able to change the inner yourself, best to change the whole shaft anyway if there was no grease in it at all!

    If you have no grease in the boot then the cv joint will have had it.
