Lubing the creaking Cobb RMM the other day, I discovered that the CV joint boot on the driver's side had split... As much as it bothered me to lay out $100 for some rubber and a couple of Oetiker ear clamps, I bought the Ford CV joint boot kit and it came with two boots, actually, which is a nice bonus as it wasn't really obvious from the description...
But, it included 3 packets of grease: 2 of F-RC and 1 of FD-R. Googling didn't really yield much clarity on these - it would appear that it is all the same stuff, more or less, for the CV joints.
Is F-RC meant to go into the outer boot and FD-R into the inner or is it the other way around - or it really doesn't matter??
Any ideas as to how much to pack in the CV boot and, if it makes a difference, which of the 2 types I got? I have a tube of Red and Sticky too, as it was what I used on the RMM and, while I was there, I smeared some of it inside the boot as well, for good measure.
