What tool to grease lower control arms?

[mschlott]

I'm getting ready to install a set of Core 4x4 LCAs. They came with both the standard and low profile type zerk fitings. I think it is probably best to install the low profile ones. If I do, I should be able to get to the front pretty easily. I think the rear would require drilling a hole in the frame mount.

I'm not sure what is the right tool for this fitting. Is it something like this?

If so, this one may make it easier to get to the frame side zerk fitting.

Any advice on this would be appreciated. I can grease both of them before I put them on, but looking to make it easier to grease them in the future.

Or something like this for those tight spots

Oooooh, does this work well for LCA fittings?

It should. Checkout this thread. I pulled link from @JimLee post.

I just use a regular grease gun with CRC Moly-Graph. Either orient the fittings where accessible or use angle fittings.

Do you have your lower control arms installed with the zerk fitting pointing down? If I install mine with it pointing up, the frame bracket prevents access to the zerk fitting using a typical grease gun.
