Greasing a volvo prop shaft seal

> Get a drinking straw from Macdonalds (they are wider than normal)
> Push it vertically into a tub of Volvo prop shaft waterproof grease about 15mm.
> Lift it out and the last 15mm will be full of grease.
> Squeeze the end flat betwen your fingers.
> Ease the flat end into the seal under the lip with the rest of the straw along
> the shaft.
> Press your finger on the straw above the grease and slide the finger towards
> the seal this will force the grease from the straw into the seal.
> If you can get two hands to the seal then it is easier to squeeze the seal to
> introduce the straw.
