I borrow this photo from Pelican to show everyone the Rear CV Joint tight space. But I think one can re-grease the Rear CV Joint using this method (separating the 2 halves in situ, leaving the rear half in place).
Once the front half is removed, the rear half can slide back and forth (after the nuts are removed), allowing you to remove old grease and pack in new grease.
Once the nuts are re-tightened, push the shaft rearward to force the grease into the front chamber (under the rubber boot). Lack of grease in the front chamber causes clanking sounds bc the balls run freely in that chamber...
