Ok I know this is a stupid question but I am not sure because I haven't done this before, I was filling my driveshaft carrier bearings last night and I was pumping the silicone in with the caulking gin when the plunger went through the plastic piece and pushed the silicone out the back of the tube so my carrier bearing is half filled with silicone and I couldn't go get another tube because it was very late. Is that going to cause a problem filling them the rest of tthe way, or can I just pump it in from the openings on the other side?
 
From everything I have ever read about doing this it is recommended to to fill the bushings a little at a time, if you do it all at once the silicon will not dry in the middle (like months or more).
