cv joints

Well, here's my partial list of parts (I forget all of them):
CV lube
various 12pt/8pt sockets
circlip puller
30mm socket
1/2" socket wrench
 
The lube itself is like $20, the rest of the parts make up the additional $60. That's not counting a torque wrench or breaker bar. I'll probably end up buying the tools as the experience will be good and the sockets I know will come in handy.

Also, to do it right, you will want to get the right tool for crimping the
cv boot clamps. I think I paid about $30 for mine but I'm sure you can get
them cheaper now as most special tools are in every corner auto parts stores
these days.

The triple square is 6mm not 8mm. Audi and the starter bolts take the 8mm
triple square.
