Default Yamaha F115 Grease for Lower Mount Housing

While injecting grease into all the grease fitting on my F115 I find that I am unable to get grease to emerge from the Lower Mount Housing (the bottom end of the vertical shaft on which the motor pivots when steering). Is there some magic way to make this happen?

It'll probably ooze out the top instead. I usually only grease the lower zerk, til it oozes up top.

Yeah! That's exactly what happens! I put the grease in the bottom and it all oozes out the top. MY QUESTION IS: How to get grease to ooze out the bottom!?!?!?
