[Mgs] Steering gaiter

[Paul Hunt]

I'd repeat what Mike says on quantity and method which is how I've done it. 
However even on full lock there isn't enough space to get all the oil in in 
one go, so you have to put about 1/3rd in and work the rack *slowly* from 
side to side to distribute it, then the 2nd and 3rd thirds ditto.  Some say 
to remove the pinion damper cover and dribble it in through there.  Early 
racks did have a grease nipple just above the damper housing for this 
purpose, but it was still for injecting oil, not grease.

Quantity *is* important, if you get too much in one end and compress that 
gaiter it will either burst it or blow it off the rack end and you will lose 
your oil.  For that reason you should empty out any remaining oil from 
*both* side before injecting new.
