Hochkis zerks and ZSpeed V3 splash shield

Ok, what am I missing here? Anyone else with this setup? Do we really have to remove the splash shield in order to get access to the zerk fittings on the front Hotchkis bushings? 2010 G37xS sedan btw.

I don't remember having issues with the previous splash shield version, unless my memory is failing me (which is possible lol)

Guess I'll give this coupler a shot.

Yeah I have one. Guy that installed the new bushings installed the angled zerks on the rear ones, and the straight ones up front, so it's impossible (at least for me) to get access to the fronts to grease. I'll see what he says. Minor but annoying thing really. The coupler above just wouldn't latch on to the fittings up front.
