[Healeys] Steering box lube

[Harold Manifold]

Hello,

I use Castrol SHL #00 grease, which is available at NAPA. The advantage of
Castrol SHL is that it comes in a tube that fits into a standard caulking
gun.

Since this grease doesn't flow or level well in the steering box, I attach
a hose to the end of the grease tube and push it down as far into the box
as possible. Once the grease begins to emerge from the top, you know the
steering box is full.

Best regards,
Harold
