Yep, my propshaft had never been greased either, Couldn't have been as the nipple's were the wrong length and the gun wouldn't quite engage. Signs of some effort but no grease in the spider. Might have been the old grease applied on the finger trick though! Takes more grease than you would expect from empty. I use high pressure graphite grease and that was all that exited when full. Melvyn Rutter sell the correct length nipple's, the long one's, very cheap. Not needed on the slide joint just the U/J's.
