I took a different approach to fix the problem about 4 years ago and it solved everything. I drilled a .060" or so hole through the three bolts (from the end) and tapped them for zerk fittings. No need to drill deeper than the center of the last bearing. Then I cross-drilled a similar sized hole (that lined up with the center of each bearing) which intersected the lengthways hole and cut a narrow radiused groove around the bolt at the same location as each hole. The last step was to drill a hole in each of the bearing sleeves making sure the hole lined up with the feed groove. A couple of occasional squirts with the gun lubes it all up and pushes any collected water and crud out right past the seal lips (where it came from) without displacing or damaging the seals integrity.

Now there's an upgraded Dogbone kit I'd buy!
