MG MGA - Good intentions

Sorry for being dim but I thought I would finish of the service today.
Oil the water pump, the manual says. Mine looks like it's sealed.
Lubricate the dynamo bearing. Mine has a plastic cap at the back that doesnt seem to come off easily & I dont really want to force it in case it's not supposed to come off.
Grease the universal joints. Guess what? No grease nipples - just one on the sliding joint.

Am I blind, or are all these bits normally sealed these days? Thanks

The newer water pumps are sealed as are the universal joints on the prop shaft. It's a good idea to shoot a little oil at the rear end of the dynamo; don't over-tighten the fan-belt as that will likely cause the bearings in the dyno. to go.
