I took someone=E2=80=99s advice and bought a John Deere grease gun and a =
couple of tubes of their =E2=80=9CCornhead Grease=E2=80=9D One tube will =
probably be enough=E2=80=A6..
The grease gun has a one-handed pistol grip pump action and a long =
flexible tube/nozzle. You can get it right up to or into the steering =
box. I forget. Decent item and I needed a modern grease gun anyhow.
The grease is, they do say, =E2=80=9CSpecially formulated not to leak =
from the corn head gearcase or drain from the gears during idle =
periods=E2=80=9D. Followed by a load of guff with lots of long words. =
Personally, I don=E2=80=99t have a clue as to what a =E2=80=9Ccorn =
head=E2=80=9D is though it sounds a bit like Bart Simpson. However, I =
sort of recall one of our experts saying that it=E2=80=99s designed =
application was perfect for our steering boxes.
Works for me,
Simon

Subject: [Healeys] Steering Box Questions
=20
Two questions for the more experienced among us ...
=20
My BJ8 steering box is leaking. From the front cover and more =
significantly from the shaft.
=20
Firstly, is it possible to replace the shaft oil seal without removing =
the box ? - that is not going to happen at the moment.
Looks sort of feasible to me and possibly the most difficult issue would =
be extracting the old seal ?
=20
Secondly as often mentioned here is to refill the box with some Penrite =
or similar NGLI 00 liquid grease. Is there a sensible/practical tecnique =
to get it into the filler hole ?. Grease gun with plastic tube ? Sounds =
messy job to me.
=20
Comments/ideas appreciated.
