W123 half axles

I was reading threads from time to time on the axles. What I didn't quite get was why you couldn't put oil back into them after replacing the boots? Seemed all was packing back with grease.

The other thing is how critical is it to be concerned if the boots are cracked or not? The original boots seem to be pretty heavy rubber material. If they start leaking, would you have like a good distance before they might gall? Just wanting to find out some basic info on them.
