Shitty picture, but for anyone whose read my work, I like greasing my rubbers when I can. This is "red rubber grease". It's fuel safe and, I'm told, safe for brake fluid too... whatever. It helps me get the intake boot on the throttle body and little PCV pipe back into the airbox

This. This is why you have a rough idle after you finish adjusting valves, etc. Because of this 5.5mm little shit. The air boot's band/hose clamp

And here's my stupid zip-ty nonsense on a cv shaft. Now, these really are exceptional ties -- not your big box store nonsense.. But the profile of their cinching mechanism doesn't fit within the heat shield for the passenger's side, as you'll soon see.

Here's a scuff on the heat shield caused by my former zip ty funny business -- hence why it snapped off. I will be replacing CV shafts some time soon,

The CV shaft splines get lubed with a moly grease. I had a moly assembly lube from way back when, so I used that, but you can pick up a moly grease from autozone.. I will say though: The assembly lube -- I must've applied it before. When I went to remove the cv shafts for this job, they slid out of the wheel hubs with the push of a few fingers. They were completely unbound.
