The used Land Pride bat wing mower that I bought last year has a couple grease zerks on the wing hinge that are rusted down to just a nub sticking up. When I went to lower the wings to use it, one side didn't want to come down until I let the pressure off of the cylinder and then crawled onto it and pushed , then let pressure off again and push. After about 4 times of this, it finally went down. I need to drill the zerk out and replace it to try to grease it. I know that they make a tap for a blind hole, but can I drill it out with a regular drill bit or do I need a special bit of some kind to drill it out? Will it matter if the drill bit drills into the hinge pin a little bit when I drill it out? I'll try to add a picture from my phone. Thanks, Chris
