i know, i'm lazy! do i have to remove them?

I got an almost complete set of jimlab bushings. they are all installed but i skidped the grease fittings part cause I needed the car back and figured i can always just do it later.
Well, its later and im starting to think the grese i put on there might be gone by now...installed in early december.
Do I have to remove the control arms again in order to do the fittings or can i just leave them installed and be as carefull as possible not to damage/score the sleeves? I dont want to do the work. i dont want to get another alignment either.
Any options????

BTW, for anyone out there looking to do the upgrade...Highly recomend it! Made my old shocks/springs feel pretty good. plus no more clunking. The ride is a bit bumpy but way better than the hard *** bumps i had to deal with berfore! I would have never thought bushings would make such a big difference!

You have to remove the arms because you must remove the pin from the bushing before you drill it. If you don't you can't drill through the nylon without gouging the pin.

The zerk fittings you can get at any napa auto parts store. I got an assortment of straight and 90 degree fittings in 1/4-28 size.
