Better still, keep the plugs handy to use in the zerk holes
in your universal joints.  If you put zerks in the U-Joints,
they will either be too short and you won't get a grease gun
in there, or too long and they will break off the first time
the U-Joint bends.  Put the long zerks in to lube and
replace with those caps as soon as you are through.
