I don't know what your situation is exactly, but if this applies to it, you can go to a FLAPS and buy a needle injector that will snap onto your grease gun. This will penetrate the rubber boot and apply grease to the CV joint. Not perfect, massaging the boot will help. If simple lubrication is your problem, this technique, if done right with say 15 strokes of the gun, could help. If you have some other problem, it's won't help. Sounds like you are getting to your early, though.
