Got the tranny in now. So what is the rundown for connecting the CV's?

Have new bolts, washers, gaskets.

Also got some synthetic CV grease.

Do you just pack it full of grease and bolt it up?

Should I use some kind of sealant in addition to the gaskets?

Thanks,
dr

I hold the axle in one hand and try to twist the outside of the Cv with the other (checking for play)

I clean them up with (surprise) brake cleaner and wash them out thoroughly before grease goes back in. That way I can see the wear pattern of the balls on the cage. Also checks for stress cracks on the cage.
