Default Rock krawler Rear LCA with EVO ROCKSTARS

I have EVO rockstar skids and just installed my rear ROCK KRAWLER lower LCA's. The grease fitting is very difficult to get to. I have the fitting on top of the joint

Is there a technique? A special grease gun adapter?

Can't you just grind out the skid or drill a hole? Otherwise, just unbolt the CA when you need to grease.

I think I can get away with a 90 or 45 degree fitting.

I have RK arms and EVO skids ready to go on.
I bought a package of 45° zerks. Hopefully they will work.

I have RK arms and Rockstars and have no issues with greasing the arms. I didn't change the fittings or anything either. I'm not with my jeep right now I think I might have the zerks facing down though...

This is what I do. I have my zerk fittings facing up on all lower control arms. Every oil change, I get up under there and re grease them.

I just had a look at mine to double check and yes I have the zerk facing down. The zerk is inside the skidplate protected area and I can't imagine a scenario where it would contact something. I also see that if it was on top it would be impossible to access with my grease gun, so I know your issue. I would just put it on the bottom it seems to work fine...
