'95 Dodge truck, 3/4 ton, 2 wheel drive. I've only recently purchased this truck so I don't know the service history.
I put new ball joints on the driver's side tonight. Got to thinking "wonder how long since those wheel bearings have been done?" Which led me to "why can't I drill and tap a hole for a grease fitting?" Right there at the tip of the screwdriver; would be located in the cavity between the inner and outer wheel bearings. Will not interfere with the rim.
Would this work? Why or why not? Anybody ever tried something like this?
Your opinions and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony
