John, I have done it without removing the wheels lying on teh garage floor. Just keep pumping until you see the new clean grease coming out. Hope for a lot of old dirty grease first..... Nipple is towards the bottom. I have a larger gun without a flexible coupling and that went on OK.

(lubricating the trunnions) - grease guns John, You can probably do it without removing the wheel, although it may make access easier (I've so far had the great benefit of being able to do this with the car on a lift!!) The grease nipple is on the inboard side of the bearing, you should be able to see it just below where the driveshaft goes into the hub (it may be buried under a thick pile of grease!). There is a line picture in the owners handbook (if you still have that), and there may be a picture or photo in Haynes as well. It is possible the hole currently has a screw in it - proper Triumph instructions in the owners handbook are to swap the screw for a nipple, grease up, then swap back again, but almost everyone just leaves the nipple in place permenantly.
