You won't be a ble to accomplish this without removing the fulcrum pin. The
fulcrum pin has a hole drilled through the center and has small holes
drilled in mid-thread on both sides. There is also a channel on the
surface that allows grease to pass from the holes along the threads, My
experience is that once these become clogged with dried grease and dirt,
you manually need to clear these holes with a small wire as well as
cleaning solutions. Also you would likely introduce metal particles when
drilling for the extra zerk. When you get the fulcrum pins out, you likely
have your answer as to whether they need replacing or not. I have been able
to remove some that were in good shape and were reusable, but it just
depends on how much abuse they took,
