The Grease that is shown at Autozone is the same Grease packet that comes with the Dorman Boot Kits.
3 ounces is not enought Grease volume.

When I rebooted my Cardone Rebuilt Axles I used the Contents of 5; 3 ounce Grease Packets on 2 Axles (4 re-boots with Dorman Boots and Grease).

And, I left as much of the original Grease in the Axles.

If the Axles had previously been filled with Oil I would have needed to use even more Grease.
If you can find a pic of the Astoria Bootk kit you will see the grease Packet is about the same size as the whole Boot.

Also the Dorman Boots come with a different type of Clamps than the Astoria Boots and it takes a different type of Clamp tool.

My Axle Boot Thread; remember I used Dorman Boots in this thread
