Just get a grease gun that has the right female zerk end on it and put grease in it until it starts to squish out the joint.

Did you get a ball joint only, or the entire transverse link? My manual seems to imply that the ball joint is not a separate unit, but is a one-piece unit, built together with the transverse link. If this is true, then the torque should be 65-80 for the bolts to the front member, and TC rods; and 14-22 to the stabilizer connecting rod.

Oh, wait, you are in Canada, if you need the torque in Nm, then it's 88-108 and 20-29, respectively. Or maybe Kg-m: 9-11 and 2-3, respectively.
