Doing a bit of maintenance and figured I'd put all the part numbers and notes in one place. Toyota has updated many part numbers. These are accurate as of 2026.

Flange Nut Styles
If you keep your existing OEM 4th gen CV axles and rebuild, you will need to use the older style flange nut (90178-28002), castle cover (43525-35010), and cotter pin (95381-04045). Some mechanics suggest replacing the cotter pin whenever you replace the CV axle, since it is a critical safety component.
If you install new OEM 5th gen CV axles, you will need to use the newer one-time-use flange nut (90177-A0023), which is staked in place and does not use a cotter pin.
The difference between 4th gen and newer 5th gen CV axles can be identified by looking at the threaded end. The newer 5th gen CV axles will have a groove cut out.
Reboot Kit
The only difference between the reboot kits for the 4th gen and 5th gen is one of the boots for the 5th gen is different, and supposedly more robust.
Grease
90999-94187 (dark for outer boot)
90999-94250 (tan for inner boot)
The reboot kit comes clamps, and two types of grease. According to Toyota mechanics and online posts, nobody has ever got a straight answer from Toyota on which grease goes on the inside boot and which grease goes on the outside boot. According to one TSB for Camry, "Toyota CV greases are now the same color, inboard/outboard, but are still different and should not be mixed up."
Still researching this. Will edit when I find a definitive answer.
According to this post:
Inner CV boot kit came with two kinds if grease. What do? | Page 2 | Tacoma World
Tan grease = inner boot
Dark grease = outer boot
It's very important to pay attention to the amount of grease specified in the repair manual. You may need a small weigh scale measure out the correct amounts of grease for each boot.

Front Knuckle Grease Cap
When removing the metal cap from the wheel hub, take your time. It can take quite a while to separate from the hub, without destroying the cap or putting a hole through it. This is a critical component which keeps water from getting into the axle and flange nut. Use light taps all around the edge with a flathead screwdriver, and some rust blaster will usually do the trick. Took me 10 minutes to get each one off. I had to tap, rotate, tap, rotate, all the way around, about 10x on each cap. Also be careful not to ding the mounting surface of the hub. The screwdriver can slip sometimes.
