We are currently doing an annual on my Forney and among other things had an unacceptable amount of slop in the main gear bushings. We have pulled the gear off and removed the old bushings and have the new ones in hand (Univair part no. 33206). Neither the new bushings not the old ones have a hole in them that would allow grease to flow to the axle. The question is: Should there be a hole and if so would just pulling the zerk and drilling through from the outside be the way to go? Or does grease flow along the outside of the bushing and eventually lube the axle. I would appreciate any and all opinions.
