Leif,
Just talked to my local CanTire.... they have 5 in stock... their part #
2827696.. $5.95 each... they tell me I can order as many as I need but will
take 2 weeks to receive... the guy just also told me... They are made to
grease any boot, but very good for CV's. This is something I would think one
of the list vendors in the US, where it is made, would have little problem
ordering a few dozen of.... maybe???
