You need to measure how deep the bolt hole is and drill the spindle so that you enter the bolt hole near the bottom. I used the smallest drill that I had then I drilled the bolt through the center also using a very small drill then I drilled and tapped the head of the bolt for a grease fitting.

Wow. That couldn't have been easy to drill a hole through a grade 5 bolt like that. Had to be a slow process. I wonder how long sealed bearings would last.
