Most remanufactured axles come with DRY CV joints. Depending on the vendor, you may receive a package of grease in a rectangular bag or (preferably) in a tube with a nozzle. Separate the boot from the joint (inner CV only) and dump about 3/4 of the grease into the joint whilst working the joint. Dump the remaining 1/4 into the outside of the joint. BTW, if you have access to latex gloves - USE THEM. Molybendum grease is the nastiest and slickest crap you'll ever lay your hands on.
