No grease going into upper A-arm shafts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone explain how grease is supposed to go into the upper A arm shafts on these trucks?

I have 2 of these trucks, a 69 & 71. Some of my A-arm fittings actually take grease but some just won't and never have! I recently put 2 new upper A-arm shafts in one of my trucks and can't get any grease to go into any of the 4 fittings.

I took one back apart to see what could be wrong and don't see any way the grease can go anywhere. The grease fitting is on the end of the big nut, the nut gets screwed onto the shaft and that's it, no holes for the grease to go anywhere.

Help solve this mystery, I'm confused...
