Noob swivel question

I will be changing all the fluids in my 2001 defender this year before a trip to Italy... just wondering if there is anything I should do to the swivels if I can top them up with grease or something? If so what's recommended.

It's done 38k miles, I've owned it for a year and a half and haven't done anything to them since I've owned it and it has fully landy history all the years before me owning it.

Interesting, can I just open it up and squeeze some in as a top up? What sort of quantity goes in?

With makeshift dipstick i.e. cable tie and check the level the level should be at about the centre of the axel
