Try jacking it up, to unload the ball-joints, and rotating the steering wheel to find the greasing sweet spot.
I also find greasing much easier with one of these:

I found that while greasing by the nipple helps, periodically, the joints need stripping down to be thoroughly greased.
It seems so. I wonder then Spider, given the work involved, whether you prefer using one kind of grease over another. I've used the sloppy lithium EP2

I've been using Molly for a long time and it's served me well, but always open to further suggestions.
I recently trialed a few different greases on the bench, so not a lot to go off, but Timken's Wheel Bearing Grease looked promising.

Yeah I beleive the moly is good in there, for shock resistance, and fretting corrosion, and can use it in a gun. Has served me well over the years.
That timken grease has got to be good, for application on the bench - but not compatible with grease gun... I wonder if that may be the best way. A comaparable one is Fuchs Titan wb race grease, very sticky. Seems good, used it with timken bearings.
