Default New front drive shaft, zerk fittings

Installed a new front drive shaft (Lucky8) on the 2004 DII. Did not think to grease it before I installed it. Now, I can't get my grease gun coupler on the zerks at the double cardon. Any one else have this issue? Any suggestions?

You just have to rotate it till the zerks are accessible, they are, just move it a little at a time.

Mine came already greased.....that said I put more in and wiped the excess off. Better safe than sorry.

Always always always grease a shaft before installing it. It will have some grease in it, but I guarantee you can pump a lot more into it.

Such true. Mine came greased and I was still able to get about a tube of schmoo in all the fittings and slip joint.
