I did this on my '73, too. It was so long ago that I don't remember the 
details, but I know that I fit it so that it points straight up, where I can 
get at it with the grease gun in the future.

IIRC, there are several nesting tubes and one solid shaft that rotate 
independently in the pedal cluster. I mounted the Zerk fitting in the outermost 
one, and drilled a hole in the intermediate one, so that grease would flow into 
both bearings from that same Zerk.
