Many years ago my brother taught me a good way to ensure you've packed
grease into a CV.

Put the grease in on one side only. Keep putting it in until it starts
coming out the other side. This way you know you've gotten the grease
in completely. Then you can top it off the rest of the way in the side
you didn't start on.

And it's a mess. Use rubber gloves. I use disposables and I'll go
through about 3 pair on a single joint (but then I hate the grease.)
