ummmmm, there's not a hole lot you CAN do besides rebuild them, lol

just let 'em spin the CV's untill you get the gaskets in, then just do the full rebuild right

I had the same problem a long while back:

aaaaaand, that lead to this thread

With cranked in t-bars, it tore the already worn CV boots to shreads... but with a stock suspention and CV's in decent shape, you should be fine for a while; it'll be like driving with ADD flanges...

Try removing the hub, cleaning and regreasing. Otherwise you need some rebuilding somewhere.

What wabbit said

I have also found that too much grease can cause the hut gear to stick, which often causes the spring to break.
