Greasing the drive line

Having trouble reaching the forward grease nipples on the drive line, especially the second one from the front. The BJ8 is on jack stands so I don't have a lot of room under the car, but reaching that middle nipple is impossible. Ideas or solutions appreciated.
 
FWIW, I was told about that opening too Mark, but my fiberglass tunnel does not have an opening there. The only opening on mine is for the speedometer cable and to check the dip stick. Roger
 
I'll second Mark. That's what that access opening on the driver's side of the tunnel is for. Of course, you have to move the car so the fittings point toward the opening, and take the seat cushion and tunnel carpet out.

For those with a fiberglass tunnel, the openings for the dip stick and greasing the driveshaft are the same size. You just need another rubber plug and a Dremel to cut the second opening.
