Ok, this may be a simple case of brain fade, but...

I would like to remove the plugs on the rear axle universals, insert the 
long grease nipples that came with the u-joints, and give 'em a shot of 
lubrication.

Trouble is, I can't get the angle right to get the nipples to thread. The 
yokes are getting in the way.

I could remove the flanges at the diff and do it, but isn't there an easier 
way?   All suggestions welcomed!
