I'm new here but I found a really useful thread on replacing the CV boots after I noticed my outer ones were torn and decided to use it. However after tearing down my front end, I noticed one of the boots had been torn longer than I thought because it had dirt and grit mixed into the grease. Since you have to remove the inner joint to be able to slide the new boot on, how can I clean out the old grease from the outer joint? I saw a post in the how to thread

So I take it that it is possible to do this but obviously pretty difficult. I would think that I do need to do it though to be able to completely clean out the outer joint before greasing it back up and instaling the new boot right? Can someone either tell me how to do it the hard way or tell me an easier way to remove the outer joint from the shaft? Thanks!
