How to grease this drag link boot

[MSFTMatt]

I’ve got the RPM 2.5 ton drag link/tie-rod and went to grease today and am at a loss for how to grease the drag link boot. It’s directly above the tie-rod end and my 90* grease gun fitting doesn’t fit.
I found the boot has 2 holes and I’ve ordered a new one but for future reference

Try an angled grease fitting.

As suggested, remove the straight grease fitting and screw in a 90° or 45° angled fitting.

Awesome! Thanks guys. I did not know those existed. Learning a TON by doing mostly my own work on my first Jeep. This forum is a god send

Another option is an adapter for your grease gun. They make ones that sort of slot on from the side. Messy business swapping around grease gun parts, though.

Look... @DylanM and I got the credit... Why you gotta complicate our rescue???

Turn your steering wheel all the way to the right. You should be able to access the grease fitting while it’s turned.

Great. Now I’ve got too many options

This is the way I do it

Yep. That's what I do.
