How to grease lower ball joint?

I did a grease job on my 97 2wd XJ the other day and did not see a fitting for the lower ball joint.
I know it should be greaseable but how ?
Thanks

It will either have a grease zerk, (or it is broken off)

If not, it is "sealed for life" and cannot be greased

OP says "I know it should be greaseable" whereas I always think they should be - but know they're not.

Where's he get that knowledge?
