Greetings all,
During the rebuild of my TD i started disassambling the steering rack. Not that
it is that worn but to derust it. But in the books I found two different
opinions on the lubrication of the assambly.
1) according to several including manual I should use gear oil.
2) according to the t type rest handbook (knudson) I could also use multi
purpose grease.
As Grease is far more easy to handle than gear oil (not that messy) and getting
the gear oil in place is not that simple I am thinking of using the grease.
Any comments or advices to use the gear oil would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
Danko Roozemond
