Just take the cv joint out, pack it, put it back in and do smear all around the joint.

Just glob it all over the joint, as long as the boot isn't packed with it then it will be fine.

As said

Pull the boot back, pack the grease into the joint, move the c.v. round in a circular motion and do it again,

Once c.v. is packed, put some more grease in the c.v. boot itself.

New clip on and job done.

Messy bugger of a job though.
