Right side drive axle / slip yoke ( LUBE )

[R***A**N**G**E***R]

Is there a certain way I can FLEX my front end in order to EXPOSE the splines on my right side drive axle a bit so I can put some grease on them???

I pulled the boot down the shaft to expose the slip yoke but there was no splines exposed at all, I then jacked up the left front tire way off the ground and that didn't expose any of the splines either, I didn't try the right front nor did I put it in 4x4 before trying. Surely there is a way to get the slip yoke to move a bit so I can squirt some grease inside were the splines are, after all this slip yoke is there for a purpose other wise it would be just one piece so it must move in and out on itself under certain conditions.

Below is a pic of what I am talking about.

slip a needle fitting on the greasegun between the boot and the axle and fill the boot with grease....it'll find it's way to the splines.
