My trick is getting one of those big needles at the grocery store for injecting food flavorings, spices, etc., into meat. Then I take off the clip or zip tie on the small axle-end of the rubber boot, slide the needle inside the boot and inject the grease. After, just clip or zip tie the boot end like it was before, and you're done.

In fact, when I install new CV's/axles, whatever, I do the same thing. Much easier than installing CV's full of grease.

i use a piece of flatened copper plumbing pipe one end on the grease gun and the other slip it under the small end of the bot.

caveat is make sure it is exactly the same grease. different greases can intermix and break down..
