As for the boot size....if you fill the whole boot up with synthetic oil do you need any grease at all?

Then there'd be a ton of lube in there. And when saying "synthetic oil"....what weight? Gear oil? Or a normal 5w40? etc...? |
i would say a good 40 weight. you want it to be thin enough to reach all the nicks and crannies, but not so thin that its just water sloshing around in there. 30 weight would probibally do just fine.
