Audi 80 2.0E 1995 (8C, B4) - replacing steering bellows - mak

Noticed that the steering bellows was split during my pre-mot checks. When this was removed , there wasn't any trace of grease anywhere as though the original boot was fitted completely dry from day one. I have had the car from new and it has power steering.. I normally look at the Vagcat.com web site and this shows VW's special steering grease which I bought. Can anybody confirm that I should put grease on this steering arm under the bellows and also explain how the air within the bellows escapes when the steering arm is extended turning left and then constricted when turning right. Is there any special technique or tool to get the new boot/gaiter into the circular groove to hold it in place.
