The FRONT BEARING DRILL FIXTURE is used to drill a grease hole in the front knuckle so that you can grease the front wheel bearings without taking the knuckle apart.

The tool can be found at Jimmy K's site:

http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/835

I borrowed the FRONT BEARING DRILL FIXTURE from a friend, but no directions came with the tool. So, here are some directions and a set of pics.

Jimmy K...look at this and see if I got anything wrong.

Pics are at this URL:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/misc.php?action=orderphotos&s=&cat=5464

Otherwise, Hope this helps someone...
