You can clean the inner tripods with brake cleaner spray or pull the tripods off and soak them in a Gunk parts cleaning basket, if you have more time. There's no reason you can't pull the races and clean the needles. Just don't lose any needles and be careful putting the tripod back together.
If the CV joint has not been exposed to dirt via a torn boot, I would just regrease with CV joint grease. If the boot was torn or you are uncertain about previous exposure to dirt, I would take the CVjoint apart and thoroughly clean and dry the components. Again, brake cleaner or gunk liquid degreaser work fine.
I would definitely not use regular grease, however. It will melt just like the CV joint grease. Get a tub of high temp wheel bearing grease. The ones marked for disk brakes or with an extreme heat label. If you use high temp grease, the exhaust heat will not melt the grease and your inner driver will last forever.
