Kevin,
Don't buy the tool. I did and then found out that the "cups" are not the
correct size. Find a cheaper machine shop. BTW, I installed zerks on all
the front end components myself. Before they are installed, drill a proper
hole, tap it and screw the fittings in. Can give you more detailed
instructions off NG.
