    You might have to rotate the driveshaft to access some of the zerk fittings. A grease gun with a flexible hose is best

    I grease my driveline on flat ground in neutral so I can push the truck with a foot while I’m under it and rotate the DS around - simplifies things greatly. Can’t you simply look for them when it’s time? You’ve done them before, no? They didn’t move to new locations…
