Unable to reach ball joint zerk.

[notenuftime]

Anyone else unable to grease the drivers side upper ball joint? Got a 90 grease gun fitting but still won't fit. Turned the U joint all ways and can't get it. The passenger side is no problem.

What's the trick?

Remove zerk, Replace with 90 degree zerk. There is room for a 90 zerk but not much.

Dang with a 90* zerk do you need to put a straight end fitting on the grease gun to fit? Maybe it’ll work the way it is ha man it s always something though

90 degree fitting. I wonder if someone makes a gun that does a small 90 degree turn at the end too?
