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.
