Low profile grease fitting for front lower ball joint?

[grasshopperkj]

I installed new lower ball joints, with a grease fitting. The only problem is I didn't realize I wasn't going to have enough room between the top of the ball joint and CV axle to put a grease fitting in, much less ever fit a grease gun on it. Driver side is already assembled w/o grease fitting installed...wasn't really paying much attention, was just happy to be getting it put back together again...and don't think there's enough room to get even a 90 degree fitting in the hole and get it installed. I am looking at button head grease fitting or flush style. The button head will take a slide on adapter for the grease gun and the flush can be greased with a needle tipped adapter. Anybody have any similar problems, what was your solution?

You need to install the MOOG "problem solver" greaseable LBJ's for a KJ,all the other greaseable ones on the market are for 2wd KJ's.

Yeah, i saw those, that's not the ones I got. That would be much better, now I need a different problem solver.

I have the second/third, works good.

No, not enough room, or wasn't on two sets I've seen installed
( both by shops who should of known better )
