As I put before I would regrease the CV joints while you can and check the boots very carefully for the first signs of cracking ... easy to replace now while everything is off. As said above ensure you have the right long 6mm hex or splined bit for the CV bolts .. they could be either and are very easy to strip the head if you use a hex bit on a splined bolt. (easy to cut the heads off though with a slitting disc if you do as the remains are not tight once the joint is out of the way)

Also time to replace the oilite starter motor support bush in the bellhousing on a WBXer :ok
