    When checking the knuckles, how much should I add? Fill to the level of the plug like you do a differntial and tranny? Since I've never done this, it appears to come in a tube. How do you get it in the hole?

    I used a grease gun then filled to the bottom of the hole.

    I also use a grese gun, to hole, then I add a oz or 2 of rear end 80-90 to mix and thin it a bit.

    ok this is kind of the unconventional way to do it...but as I made my own knuckle pudding (as well discussed on this site :lol:) in a disposable plastic container, I then had to transfer it into the knuckle fill hole. I assume CH grease has a similar consistency, so if your wife or household has an unwanted pastry icing bag and piping tip - works perfect until your wife or whomever goes ballistic. So, I used a heavy duty freezer ziploc bag, cut the tip of a corner off, put a little plastic nozzle or cap that you cut the end off of (like what might be on the end of and RTV tube), secure with tape and squeeze it into the hole until to the level of the fill hole.
