When you fill the can with oil withen 1/2 inch from the top and turn the shaft over to fill the other end, is the oil going to run out of the can into the boot?
So if that happens how does the oil get back into the can to lubricate the joint?
I have to wonder if the spinning axle will act like a centrifuge and the oil work its way beck into the can Does that make sense?
I don't see how you would be able to get your finger inside the can to pack the grease into the joint.
I am doing mine this week. So I am studying all my options here.

A couple weeks ago I installed a set of axles from a parts car. Switched sides as some have suggested. Right side inner joint came apart these were good axles that did have nasty looking cracks on the outer ridges. I did lay a bead of silicone on the top of the ridges. I wonder if I made a mistake by reversing sides.
I do have a 124K parts car. It is showing age cracks on the boots. So I am going to do them before the install.

Thanks to everyone for this thread!
