Nothing that civilised. Tie the string to whichever end you've managed to get the grease in at and whirl the bloody thing around your head, making sure to avoid cracking anybody about the head or body with it. That'll get some of the grease from the end you put it in to the bearing at the other end. I've done that, and can confirm it works.
