Take you stock bolt, drill hole in it for grease fitting just past center of shank. Cross drill shank hole . Tap top hole for grease fitting and insert fitting. Install and grease. No more frozen hinges.

I was going to do something like that and Clay Perrine turned me onto these...

When I bought them a year ago, they were more budget friendly (30 for a pair)

Innless I am reading this wrong? A pair are $49.95 per or two sets are $33.50 each. Get a bud to go in on this and it is not bad I think I have this right. The grove that Zims puts in is a help to get the grease to spread better.

@ninga Rick, nice to see your name!

Pricing sure does seem strange ? One pair for $50 and $67 for 2 pairs.
