In the factory (or Bentley) service manual, item #43 on page 10.00.17
says:
1: Wipe clean plug and surrounding area.
2: Remove the plug.
3: Fit a suitable grease nipple to the plug hole.
4: Apply a grease gun to the nipple, and stroke for 5 times only.
CAUTION: Over greasing can cause damage to the rubber bellows.
You could jam in a tapered-thread grease fitting and leave it in place,
but it might not properly hold the ground wire terminals that are under it.
