it's a lot easier if you have the "long" grease fittings intalled.

If you have those and it won't reach, you have to take the flange bolts
off to swivel the joint so that you can get the grease gun on.

Now you know why most TR6s for sale usually say "new u-joints installed
less than 10k miles ago".
