You can get adapters to put onto the end of your grease gun to service these fittings. One word of caution: do not use regular grease on the u-joint or in the steering box. The u-joint gets the same thick oil as the tranny and a good grease for the steering box is John Deere Corn Head grease. Cheers, Dean Dean 'Rustoholic' Meltz old and ugly is beautiful!
