Tube - or should that have read tub? If you are still coming round today I can talk you through it save people having to type long replies about how immobile CV grease is. It won't just work its way round the back of the cannon balls. I'll have a look at them later.

I used to use a cable tie down the filling hole to gauge amount in there.
Recently starting using the depth probe on my venier gauge as could never quite get the cable tie to work properly.
Looking at the grease line on the balls left by the wiper seals seems to give a rough idea of levels in there.
On a different note, I fitted Longfield lifetime wiper seals a year ago and they have been great.
Real PITA to fit but do good job when in there.
