2003 U-joint grease question
Can the u-joints on my 03 XK8 be greased, do they have nipples to attach grease gun to so I can grease the rears? My shop when they had the car said they can be greased, when I asked about it after they finished the car he claimed he never told me that. So it was not done. My googling of it says otherwise if I read it right? Can I do it myself.

Yes you can do this but you will need to get the car on jcak stands or on a lift.

U-joint nipples help
Ok so got my new floor jack and Lucas grease gun jacked up car from standard position placed jack stand crawled under but gun Assembly on end of flex hose seems or be to big to gain access to the nipple, can't get a straight shot at it .
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to jack up from another spot to raise wheel after chasie is in the air or get a shorter nipple for the grease gun? I'm usually pretty good at doing most work myself but this has me beat for now if the nipple assembly on the end of the hose was an inch shorter would not be having this issue. Any advice accepted I know it can be done.
Thanks all
