G'day Nick,
Yes it's always good when gear assemblies are easily greased without disassembling gear housings , example Austin Seven
steering boxes were fitted with a grease nipple.
Some factory recommendations about lubricating axle shafts for wheel bushes and lubricating the drive gears was to
leave them dry because lubricating them in a dirty environment will accelerate wear.
I have heard graphite powder is recommended for the side drive gears in the wheels.
