Thanks for the reply.

Yes I also think that the old joints are worn out and need to be replaced. I want to do this because I think they only last about 30k miles depending on the road conditions.

I think that having new joints with grease fittings would be great. Then the joint should last a very long time.

I think that putting a hole in the ball would be very much no good at all. So this is why I am thinking about using the old joints that I still got. You know for a test case. If the BJ is made similar to the inner tie rod ball joint then there will be some sort of "plastic" under the steel ball. I am hoping this will make it easier to decide when to stop drilling.

The other reason for wanting to do this? Someday the new BJ supply will end.
