Today was greasing day for the TR3.

1. I greased both propellor shaft universal joints with grease and 
then read in the guide I was supposed to use oil. The guide I used 
was: Practical hints for the maintenance of the Triumph TR3, 6th 
edition. Question: have I done something fatal or is it OK to use 
grease at these locations?

2. The grease nipple location for the splines just behind the front 
u-joint has been plugged with a bolt for some reason. Brain says 
splines need greasing and I should try to put a new nipple in, but 
fingers say this is an awful place to get into without taking off the 
tunnel. Is it important to grease the splines or can I leave it as it 
is?

Thanks in advance
Dave
