Default In a bit of a bind, need advice... (umi?)

im living in a college dorm and dont have access to a grease gun... i just bought umis lcas... could i install them without greasing them and drive on them for a couple hundred miles until i can get back home and use my grease gun? or if i do this will it completely ruin something?

edit: these are the tubular non-adjustables if it matters

I would think it would tear up the bushing pretty quick. Just go to an oil change place and have them lube it.

Little grease guns are not expensive and often as
not, come with a stick of grease already.

You could buy a tub of grease and finger-pack it
at install too, although this won't be quite as
thorough.
