replace the factory U-Joints with U-joints that are greaseable.
 






couldnt you just install grease nipples or is that not an option with this case?

I dont think that can be done because the u-joints were not designed for that.Besides you would also have to drill them and then tap them.Were would the grease go also?
U-joints are fairly cheap(i believe they are only around 10-15$).I would just replace them with greaseable ones,then hit them with a show of grease every second oil change just to be safe.
 






thanks yall..., ill just leave them!
