I am assuming that you should grease the u-joints between the engine flywheel, and the pump. Is that what the access cover on the belhousing is for? Do the joints have grease zerks? Or, do they just last forever with the factory grease?

Most u joints have zerks in the crosses, the extreme duty joints I use have a solid cross and needle zerks in the caps, some have none.
Access would depend on what mounts and housing you have, I merely have to remove half of the drive line cover to get to mine, three points are a different story, you normally have a hand hole on those. I recommend greasing the joints at the beginning and end of the season, mostly to displace moisture.... :thumbup:
Good luck.
