hey guys,
my uni joint on the rear drive shaft of my shorty mk was squeaking so i took it off cause i knew it had no grease nipples on it for some reason.
its got the threaded hole for them so i went to repco and bought a couple, put them in but the problem is u cant get a grease gun nipple in there so how the $%&* are u suppose to grease them???

jack tha ass end up really high whilst leaving the wheels on the ground, and that should make the opening open right up so you can get it in there,

you need to buy an adapter, only heard of them, never seen them.
Or, buy a uni that has a grease nipple in one of the caps

You can get longer nipples 45 or 90 degree one's etc.

Nipples come in all shapes and sizes... seriously though I put long ones on my MK shorty- they look as if they would get pinched in the joint but they don't, and the grease gun gets to them easily.
