A Friend of mine wanted to go in through the bottom of the Joint.
I know he got as far as buying the Grease Zerks; after that He has not commented on it.

I think a hole can be drilled there without issues but I am not sure there is enough available Metal there for threading.

If someone does not like the option of inserting a needle through the Boot they could buy the Tool to press the Lower Ball Joint off of the Control arm and remove the Boot and Apply new Grease.
With the correct Tool the job would not be a terrible amount of work and would not need to be done often.
