Cover the bearing seat area with a rag to protect the inside of the
clamshell from metal filings.
Drill through the housing square to the outside surface using an

Remove any sharp edges from the hole that may chip-off and fall.
Carefully remove the rag and inspect with a service light inside the
clamshell to insure no metal filings are left behind.
