Thats way too much...
Plenty of grease in the cv and some in the boot. Using to much will just heat it up and push it out the small end.

I learned from someone (cant remember who) that had problem with CV life when racing that less grease made the CVs last longer. It didn't heat up the grease to the same extent.

I've always kept the "grease level" sparse in my CVs. Grease have never pushed out anywhere, I have no ties/clamps on the small end either.

I changed my CVs when I bought my car (1977 targa) at 100.000 miles, now at 150.000 miles they still look good. Still using the original thick flange boots, lasts forever...
