OLD MAN, Can you describe where the hole is in the skid plate and what type of grease gun you used? Great idea.
Sam
Remove the center console storage box (It lifts right out) and you can see everything and find which hole in the skid plate lines up.

Yamaha has been doing it like this for years, look at all the ATV's, same set up.

just finished greasing my 17 wolverine rear knuckles ( on 1 side), what a pita!!! ended up jacking up under a-frame, remove sway car link, caliper & both knuckle bolts. wrangled assembly to install 45 degree fittings. used nylon washer on upper to get it where i could get a lock & lube grease adapter on it. use a pistol type gun, took quite a lot of pressure to get it to come out the ends at bushings, (tight due to only 250 miles on it). lower fitting is far enough away from a-frame so i don't think it will snap off. they dropped the ball on this design enough that i briefly thought of selling it!
Throw some weight in bed to compress the suspension to get to them. A large trash bag filled with water (******* hot tub) will squat it pretty good.
 
They have been exactly like this on the Grizzly's for years. You can almost get there......but not quite.
 
I did something a little different. I needed to clean out the trunkbox.. appears a big bag of Doritos exploded in there. LOL Filled the box up with water and got out the grease gun.

If no box, then a rubber kiddie pool to line the bed would work too.
Good idea! ....ok, not the Doritos but the water in the bed.
