Any new ideas about getting grease into the parts that matter?

Not easy is it. When the squeaking clutch fork gets too annoying I peel back the rubber boot over the fork and spray aerosol spray grease in there using the little plastic extension tube.
I usually use Motorcycle chain lube but am looking at trying to find a waterproof marine type spray grease.
You could also remove the slave cylinder to give you a bit more room to move the fork around to apply the lube.
The other idea for combating this problem is to drill and tap the side of the bellhousing to fit a grease nipple, then run a flexible rubber hose down to the clutch fork which has to be machined for a grease gallery so it lubes the pivot ball.
Hope these ideas help you. Anybody else got some better methods?

Thanks for the tips-------looks like the old struggle with the little extension on the spray can like you say--------always a pain in the ass.
Old man Yamamoto Toyoda really slipped up on this one!
Hell, on my old Ford F350, you could take the fork right out in 2 minutes and coat all the parts with lube.
I suppose you have to make a few sacrifices if you want to drive a LC.
Jesus Yobbo, you don't really mean that??
