Default Need a Tech's help- halfshaft boot grease??

I had to pull my inner boot off the halfshaft due to my broken output shaft. Everything is fine but I had to order the boot kit just to get the correct grease and the right amount. It's not going to be here before the weekend races, so does anyone know what kind of grease goes in the inner boot on the rear axle and how much??
Thanks, Eric

I havnt had one apart, but I would think that its the same grease that is used in front wheel drive axles. Should be able to go to local parts store and get some CV joint grease.
