Default how do I properly grease the inner cv joint ?

there is grease on the side with the boot, but the drawing EMPI sent me makes it sound like I must disassemble the inner joint to put the grease in..

here are the pics.

obviously I put the grease here

but here is what is throwing me for a loop

so i removed the little clip and there is already grease on one side, what else are they talking about?

here is the grease

Default that was my initial idea, and it is greased on the other side, so all I should need is grease on the

outside and call it good, right ?

man I need clearer instructions.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/74942/dsc_5217.jpg"></center><p>the peice i pointed to with the arrow will push down and you can see if it is greased in there. If there is just throw whats in the bag on the outside and throw it on.

Default Did you get a pack of grease with the new shaft? The bearings(*****) have to be packed with grease.

The CV joint looks dry right now, you need more grease in there.
