Edit: now that you mention it, the repair manual specifies 80-90 grams on the CV joint itself, and an additional 20-30 grams in the boot. I think I probably did less on the CV joint and more in the boot, but hopefully that'll even out when driving.

Note to self - thoroughly read the instructions in the repair manual instead of trying to figure stuff on my own...
I've seen others pack it full....then wondered why it came out....lol.
