All you do is chuck up the shoulder bold in a drill press and machine a small V groove around the circumfrence, and in the center of the shoulder area (the "bearing" part of the bolt).
Next you drill a small cross hole all the way through the bolt right in the groove you just cut.
Now you drill down through the top of the bolt and stop at the cross hole.
Tap the last hole you drilled for a grease fitting.


Pics! PLEASE!!!!!!
