Unhappy Hard to reach grease fitting!

Greasing the drive shafts on my 2013 LX570 and I can not get to the U-joint zerk fitting for the rear joint on the front drive shaft.
Cross member in the way. Tried a 90 degree end on my gun and it won't fit through the narrow opening on the u-joint, too fat.
What special tool do I need to put on my grease gun? Thanks

Don’t know if you’ve tried this but I’ve watched the tech do it on my 2018 and he turns the wheels a bit to turn the driveshaft so that the fitting is more accessible.

good luck
