The straight zerk is pointed at tht side wall of the upright. A hole might work but it's the point. I have had the whole rear suspension out years ago to reseal the third member, Replacing the leather seals. The car was constructed in 84, I've had it since 99. Those two zerks have always been an issue. I have taken HUUMMVS front drop spindles apart when I worked and these shouldn't be much worse. I'm not planning on adjusting any shims, Just separate the half shaft from the upright housing enough to get to the zerk, I have found an allen bit to fit the bolt on the wheel flange. The seals do not leak, But then again I haven't done theses before, I should have twenty years ago.
