Guys - I have discovered what appears to be a grease nipple on my driveshaft UJs but how do I grease them!

Grease gun. Down the motor factors. Then squeeze it in until it comes out the caps. Wipe off the excess or you grease the underside. You can get a flexi end to the gun BTW, makes it easier to get it on. If that does not work then I have slackened the nipple to the right angle, grease and then tightened up.

You grease them like the UJs on the half shafts. If you haven't greased them either, the UJs won't last very long on those. Not the same issue on the driveshaft to diff as this axle is not handling larger angles under power.
