Hugh,
Funny you should ask. I just went through this yesterday! Not on a TR-6,
but on a TVR. The replacement u-joint I installed has the grease nipple
coming out at an angle. Put it in with the nipple facing the yoke and you
can't very well get a grease gun on the nipple.
Just make sure you can get a grease gun on the nipple, this is all that
really matters.
