C/V joint regrease: couple of Q's.

Hey guys:

I've checked out the C/V joint thread at http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=62514&highlight=cv+disassembly and it is just about all I need, but I do have another question.

Do I understand that caustic (Berryman's, Gumout) chemicals should never be used to clean these joints for fear of removing embedded grease in the pores of the balls and races?

How do you tell if the axleshaft is a true Porsche product? That is, where should I look for the lovely P triangle on this item?

I'll be using Warren's recommended 985 Synth/Moly (Valvoline), new circlips, fresh M8x50 6-point allenheads, and new rubber bellows all around. Anything else I ought to do?

Comments welcome!
John
