Bob, the 20cc syringe I bought was no problem to press, I pressed until the
hand ached, but the needle didn't pop. I also cut the length of the needle
about 2/3, it was much easier to press after that. Anyway, the needle is
way too thin to fill a cv joint, but steering knuckles and other small
items are no problem.
