No easy way unless you lift the boots - and you can risk damaging the boots
that way (unless you're VERY careful).

Subject: DML: Cloged grease fittings

My 98cc 2w has cloged grease holes?? and has developed a nasty squeek. I'm
thinking the squeek is from the lack of grease. Looking at my maintence log
I haven't greased them in 7 months. I pulled out the zerk? joints out and
cleaned them. Lots of hard packed dirt. The grease flowes through them with
no effort but I after re-installing them I still can't get grease into the
balljoints. Any ideas how to clean them? I don't have the skills or the
tools to pull apart the ball joints.

Thanks.
