I agree with the EZ Lube wheel bearings but the grease hole in the shackle bolt is supposed to be on the side and with the several thousandths clearance between the bolt and the bushing, there should be no problem with pretty complete coverage.
On the last two set of bolts on 2 5ers I cross drilled the bolts as well as rat tail filed a bit of hole radius --- and the @#$% bushings still wore out and the bolts wore up to .010.
Without self leveling, jacking a 12K plus 5er up to grease those bolts just ain't gonna happen
