Upper Balljoint Greasing?

Yup, that time of year. Oil change time. Also first greasing of all the front end parts. Well, first time I'm doing it. When it was all installed the shop greased them up. Anyway, I have a grease gun with the 90 degree end on it and for the life of me I can't get it onto the grease fitting for the upper ball joint. Its a strait fitting with very little clearance. Is there a trick to getting the grease gun on this dang thing or am I just completely missing something obvious. Don't some searches but can't find anything about this.

The grease gun I have has an adjustable 90 degree/ strait fitting on it. Thought it would work... works on everything else I have

Thanks

Change the grease zerk to a 90deg type so you can get a regular gun on it.
