Had lower ball joints replaced some 35-40K ago. When they were replace the lower ball joints were quite a bit more difficult to grease. I used a dremel tool to take some edge off the lower arm to get the grease gun to fit on the zerks. Actually seemed the zerks were recessed more.

This last time I greased, I could not get the drivers side to take grease. The gun just seemed to not be able to get onto the zerk far enough. Even took off the tire to get more pressure on the gun hose.

These zerks have no shoulder to get a wrench or socket on. Before I destroy this zerk with pliers/vise grips to try and twist out

Try a needle point adapter on you grease gun. They are available at most parts house. I use these a lot for U-joints. tpitt
