Default grease fitting removal? help please….

I have a grease fitting on one of my lower control arms that wont hold any grease. every time i have tried to grease it the bearing that is supposed to hold the grease wont seat all the way for what ever reason. I have tried to take a wrench to it but no joy, come to find out its a press in. I was hoping someone could give me some insight as to how to remove it. (hopefully without drilling it)

if anybody has any tips id really appreciate it….

If its a JKS control arm they do not have a retainer ball and that is by design. It is to keep you from adding too much grease and blowing the seals.

I would call Rancho support. If they are pressed in they sound non-serviceable.
