When we used to change boots, the kit came with a tube of grease. We just
squeezed it all in there and made sure it worked into the bearings good. It is a very
messy job and when we priced a rebuilt axle (with supposed lifetime warranty) we
decided it was worth the price. But that's just us. This is after doing the job 3-4
times (parallel parking in spaces 1 inch bigger than your car is murder on the boots
;P).
Try not to go full lock on the steering wheel to preserve boot integrity as long
as possible as changing it both ways is a PITA. But even if the joint starts
clicking, it's only noise--I don't think it will ever leave you stranded unless it
crumbles to ash in there.

Belive it or not, I've never done a CV boot swap on a CRX before. Done
axle swaps but the boots were already on and the CV was already greased up.
