Best to NOT use heavy chassis grease as it does not flow into the "tight spots" I made my own grease by mixing chassis grease and gear oil. Straight gear oil will leak out. Gene Schneider

Do you have any idea why they skipped the pressure gun lubrication fitting? It makes it difficult to get grease in there... I guess I could make a grease fitting that will fit in in the hole for the pipe plug (?).

They eleminated the fitting so the gear could not be overfilled and grease work up the steering column. Also grese gun grease is too thick to reach all the tight places such as the pitman arm bushings and sector roller bearings. Last edited by Chev Nut; 10/19/16 08:00 PM. Gene Schneider
