Question First time grease monkey????

Just got some Moog tie rod end fittings and I also bought an air powered grease gun.
How much grease do I pump in those tie rod ends???
Do I just pump grease in there until the rubber boot fels full or does the grease come out the sides when full or something?

pump till you physically see the boot start bulging. usually about 3 pumps or so (depending on how dry) with a hand pump grease gun
if it starts pouring out the sides of the boot you have gone too far.

I can feel the boot starting to fill and bulge slightly.....I guess that's it.

Cheers bud.
