how much cv boot grease?

[beagle3]

Ok I am replacing my cv boots with the astoria cv boots. The packet of grease that comes with the boots seems small. I checked the mb manual that I have and it states 230 grams of fluid. That converts to right around 8 oz.

Can you guy's confirm this and is it ok to use cv joint grease that sta-lube makes?
The old oil in the joints was more liquid, kind of like rear end oil with moly. Maybe my old grease had just broken down?

Any way I am using the flex boot tool that I bought and it work's fine however the tool would not expand the new boot far enought to go over the can on the outter side of the axle. After several tries I ended up installing the outter boot from the inner side of the axle by reversing the boot on the tool and sliding it to the oppisite side of the axle. The inner can is slightly smaller than the outter can on my car.

Please give me a head's up on the cv grease and I am going to try to finish up this job tomorrow.

Thanks Mark
