John, you can also just use a length of plastic pipe/hose and insert a
regular grease nipple at one end.
You grease gun filled with CV joint grease goes on the grease nipple end of
the pipe while the open end of the pipe is routed between the axle shaft and
the small end of the rubber boot.  You need to remove the clamp first that
is on the small end of the boot/axle.  You can channel the length as far up
as you need to to direct the grease right at the CV joint.  When done
massage the grease into the joint, intall new clamp and your ready to go.
No puncture on the boot.
Make the pipe as long as you like, mine was about 18" long.
Can't remember the type of plastic pipe.  I think it was a length used in a
tractor/trailer brake air system.  Red in color, and the grease nipple fit
in super snug.
