UJ grease nipples

Hi,
I have been greasing up all the points on my NEKAF M38A1, read about the nipples being surrounded with a red paint circle, and lo and behold, when I cleaned off the old grease there they were!
The only npoints I couldn't get to were the UJ's on the front drive shaft, just impossible to angle the nozzle of the gun, even with flexi. Any tips? Can you fit longer nipples, or is there a special narrower nozzle?
Thanks

Did you try to rotate the shafts to a different position to gain access to the grease zerks? I've not had any problems greasing my M38A1.
