You do not have what is called a gimble bearing on a Volvo 280 drive, they are called gimble bearings on 290 and latter drives. The difference being that gimble bearings both bearings can be removed from the drive side after the upper drive assembly is removed. On a 280 you unfortunatly have what is called intermediate bearings where the aft one comes out the drive side, and the other comes out the engine side. If you have bad bearings, the engine has to be pulled to remove the engine side bearing.
To grease the u joints (gimble) you would need to remove the upper drive assembly off the outdrive. unclamp the bellow and remove the upper drive along with the U joints. You can then grease the U joints.
There is a zerk fitting on the bell housing that allows you to grease the intermediate bearings, but I was told not to do this as it could blow out the seals and cause more problems than it solves.
