after reading this I checked to see how much I really put in. Thought maybe I had overstated how much I put in. I do get about 3 CV joints well full of grease from almost two full 14 oz 'grease gun' tubes of Moly-graph. then I got out a small package of grease that came with a Lobro Boot Kit .. and it's 90 grams or 3.17 oz. and it sure looks like not nearly enough to me . Especially on a dry brand new CV joint .. I problaby put in 3 times that much ...up to 9 oz.. at least 6 to 7 oz. scott www.turbovans.com
