When the directions say "grease the ball joint", where do you grease it? I see the grease fitting, do you squirt grease up in that little hole and then tighten the grease fitting plug? thanks

maan.. you guys have greaseable ball joints!? thats one that i didnt know, my car doesnt.. but anyways just use the adapter that most grease guns have and just squirt it in there till the rubber boot on top starts to move then stop and pull it off.. there is a ball bearing in there that will stop it from coming back out..
