Hello
When I first used Penrite steering lube it was a real pain in the arse to pour
being so thick. Even placing the bottle in hot water didnâ??t help all that
much. It does pour but patience is a virtue.
Someone at Penrite had a brainwave and itâ??s now sold in tubes that fit inside
grease guns and itâ??s simple. I have Penrite steering lube in the steering
boxes of both the Healey and Austin-Healey. IT DOES NOT LEAK!

In my first post, I was mistaken â?? I was remembering doing that job on my
tri-carb, only it was on the steering box, not the idler. Makes a lot of
difference re: draining â?? the steering box side can be drained by loosening
the 4 bolts holding the bottom cover on enough to let the oil drain out over a
couple of days into a container placed below, which is what I did.
Unfortunately, as Mike has queried, there is no way to do this on the idler
side â?? about all one can do is use some kind of a small suction device to get
out whatever can be gotten to that way through the fill hole.
The Penrite is so thick that youâ??ll need to warm it up and use a small
injection device to properly top it off.
Sorry for the â??brain fartâ??. Or maybe it was the good Russian Vodka taken
earlier on the day that I wrote the post. Doesnâ??t matter, getting old!

Many thanks to one and all.
a) I had misread the parts diagram. I knew something was a bit off, hence
the query.
b) Indeed, an apparently simple task is a potential labour of Hercules and
Iâ??m very glad that I asked!
c) I shall fill the thing up with Penrite Steering Box lube and see how
that goes.
