Default grease fittings

I replaced all of my ball joints a couple of months ago. When installing them I tried to use a 90 degree fitting so it would be easier to grease them, but the front axle hit the fitting so i used the strait fitting. I just tried to grease them tonight and there is no way I could get to them. Dose anybody have any idea on this? THANKS

Do they make a smaller profile 90 degree fitting??

There's a adapter-fitting for limited spaces
like you describe. Eastwood sells it.
It's a adapter that allows you to slide the grease
gun fitting on sideways to the zerk-fitting.
Check it out.

also try using a "needle point" on your grease gun, they're longer and skinnier so they can fit in places a clip on style cant
