Someone fitted the "Filled for life" type, which is a laugh, they are no different to the ones with nipples and they arn't considered "filled for life".

Its because they are cheap. When it fails, put in a Hardy Spicer or similar.
 
take it the grease is inside the prop obviously thought you just greased the joint where it connects cant see nipples will prod and probe at weekend
 
I struggled to find the grease nipples at first. You just have to get your hands dirty and feel around the UJ's. There are pictures in the haynes manual.
 
When you feel the UJ you'll have like 4 recesses, it'll be sat in one of those on each UJ. Make sure your grease gun has a flexi hose as its a pain in the ass moving your bloody prop everytime.
