Doesn't even need to be a precision hole. Anyone with a small drill bit and a drill should be able to do it no problem.

Depending on the grease used it might be a long time before the shaft would need to be greased again. Put some Mobil 1 synthetic grease on the shaft and it would probably go years in between needing attention.

You’re probably right buddy, .....but a tiny hole would make PM work a breeze,....that’s part of the allure, ....no??...working on them, maintaining them,...maybe only you & I need a serviceable part,...😉.....we do tend to extract every ounce of enjoyment out of them!....I’ve beat the H-E- double toothpicks out of this Y3 all last night and today,....not so much as a whimper,.....I mashed the throttle as far as it would go for testing,,...no dice, she’s sturdy as a rock,....
