When replacing my drive axles on my 2000 Jetta the bolts for the inner CV joint acquired a coating of grease. Tightening to spec is impossible. Is there a torque spec for greasy bolts or do I need to clean each one, the bolt holes in the CV joint, and the threads in the transmission drive flanges?
Can the drive axles be attached to the transmission without getting the bolts covered with grease? Is so, how?
Thanks,
John
