Default 2004 Kodiak driveshaft u-joints...how do you get on them?

I was looking over the front end, because I had a hard hit this last weekend, looking for bent pieces...didnt find any, but I noticed for the first time, that the forward u-joint on the front driveshaft has a grease fitting. Nothing I have is gonna get in there to lube it. What has anyone done in the past? Is there a special fitting that will let me get on it, with out disassembling the whole drive shaft ?

People have been talking about this problem with the 05's and have said a needle fitting will solve it. I went out and bought a needle fitting and tried it myself with no real luck at all. I dont know if it was the needle I bought but it cant get the grease in. It just comes out, I need a better seal. I can get grease into the 05 back shaft with the regular fitting with a bit of positioning of the driveshaft. I want to get grease in the front shaft so if you come up with anything let me know. Thanks
