The turkey baster is good. I used a grease gun 'needle tip'
jammed onto the top of the Castrol oil bottle ( a bit of dusck tape to seal it)
I simply punched a small hole in the top
of one of the boots, injected the oil, then used silicone sealant
to plug the hole.
20K miles and two years later... not a trace of oil out side the boots.
Bouncing the boot around, you can feel the the oil is still in there.

John,
Wife is helping me using mineral spirits on the recommendation of Bruce
Nichols of the Michigan Rowdies. Will try a turkey baster with the zerks
fittings removed and wife turning steering wheel back and forth. Any other
suggestions?
