Best why to tell when greasing the joints enough is enough.

I usually just do it until I see the boots start to puff up a little.

I still make a mess though............even when I try paying attention! They will start seeping when you see them puff out, just try to stop before I usually do!

I like to smear some grease on the ball(as much of it as I can cover) by hand & move the ball all around thru its travel to coat all of it then add the boot then pump grease in the zerk.

That will be the exact moment in time when you get the worst itch on the tip of your nose..
