Another option for steering box lube is the product used for Land Rover =
swivel housings (steering box). Readily available.

I recently completed a removal of the BJ8 steering box, complete rebuild =
with new bush, caged bearings and seals, then reinstall in the car. I =
used the LR lube =E2=80=93 no leaks and now, no steering =

Update.
Have decided on a 2 pronged approach.
Filled with NGLI - 00 grease and monitoring for ANY leaks.
So far so good.
ANY signs of leaking will do it properly and replace the seal.

On a separate note beware ... there is always a crocodile lurking. I =
ordered a cannister of the Penrite grease and ariived no issue. However =
the Oz Penrite cannister is a larger diameter and does not fit our DIN =
1284 sized grease guns (used in USA Canada UK and Europe) .... grrr ! =
Never received any comment from Penrite about this.
So had to resort to spooning with the usual mess and wastage ....

Guys.
This is an interesting thread and I absolutely agree with use of the =
NLGI grease. This becomes a =E2=80=98fit and forget=E2=80=99 mod. =
Neglible =E2=80=93 probably zero =E2=80=93 leaks and therefore no need =
to ever top up again. The stuff sticks like 5h1t to a blanket and gets =
dragged by the worm into the rocker arm bearing surface. I practically =
brimmed mine after replacing the oil seals and it has never leaked.
Regarding R&R in situ. Removal of the column/box really isn=E2=80=99t a =
big deal. The sequence, from memory:
Disconnect the bullets and withdraw the trafficator including stator =
tube in one piece. Plug the exit hole olive and nut with a 3/8=E2=80=9D =
bolt to minimise oil over the floor.
Steering wheel off and grille out.
Undo column clamp and three box bolts. Split the steering rod joints.
The box comes out easily then by rotating it and drawing out of the =
grille opening.=20
=20
The trick for re-installing is to slide a PVC tube into the car long =
enough to pass from grille opening into the cockpit. Plumbing waste pipe =
here in the UK. The engine bay grommet plate is positioned on the =
plastic tube and the grommet as two separate items. Slide the column =
into the tube and through the grille until the box can be caught on a =
front trunnion bolt. Then withdraw the plastic tube and install the =
clamp, plates and grommets.
It isn=E2=80=99t as difficult as it may appear and makes working on the =
box a very comfortable exercise at the bench.

Yes. Further to my last email, there is further info on the tube:-

Listers
Looks like the common denominator on these thick oils/pourable greases =
is that they meet the requirements of NLGI 00standard (NLGI is National =
Lubricating Grease Institute). This topic is a common one in the old =
car world with folks like us. The results of the use of this product, =
mainly lack of leaks on old steering boxes, is mentioned on many sites. =
So if you have an very old Chevy or a AH this stuff is helpful. Not =
saying that a properly repaired steering box can=E2=80=99t be nearly =
leak free but for most of us this stuff will make the situation much =
better. Don=E2=80=99t let the term grease deter your use. It still =
flows to all the places that need lubrication but resists leaking out. =
By the way there are lots of sources for this stuff under many name =
brands and retailers. NAPA, John Deere and a multitude of others. Use =
the NLGI 00 specs to find supplier near you.

ks like the common denominator on these thick oils/pourable greases is =
that they meet the requirements of <b>NLGI 00</b><span =
style=3D'background:white'>standard (NLGI is National Lubricating Grease =
Institute). This topic is a common one in the old car world with =
folks like us. The results of the use of this product, mainly lack of =
leaks on old steering boxes, is mentioned on many sites. So if you have =
an very old Chevy or a AH this stuff is helpful. Not saying that a =
properly repaired steering box can=E2=80=99t be nearly leak free but for =
most of us this stuff will make the situation much better. Don=E2=80=99t =
let the term grease deter your use. It still flows to all the =
places that need lubrication but resists leaking out. By the =
way there are lots of sources for this stuff under many name brands and =
retailers. NAPA, John Deere and a multitude of others. Use =
the NLGI 00 specs to find supplier near =
