Sawyer, dad actually was thinking about along the same lines. Not sure how good that would lube the bolt though being that the ends of the frame where the bolt goes would be open. The grease would probably come out before getting around the bolt. If I had a way to seal it that would be great. I'll think on it for a few days and may come up with something.

Sorry for not getting back sooner. I found an M10x180 AH, 12.9 grade bolt locally and used that. It appears to be working fine. I packedl the hole with a synthetic, hi-temp grease and will remove it periodically to re-grease. I didn't want to put anything in the ends like bearings or bushing becasue I didn't want to reduce the diamter of the bolt that goes through there.
I've got another issue not - with the rear brake. I'll start a new post.
