How to relubricate Hsport rear lower control arms

Hi everyone. Does anyone have the instructions on how to relubricate the bushings throught the zerk (?) fittings? I can't imagine how to lubricate them with the fittings facing downwards

Grease gun yes. I've found that even a grease gun is not very effective if you've waited to long. (wrong kind of grease??) Periodically, I take the bushings out, clean and re-grease them.

Yes all you need is a grease gun, that is why the Hsport control arms are the best.
