I didn’t want to hijack the thread, so I changed the subject line, just in case anyone else was interested in the topic. <div><br></div><div>Cornhead grease was recently suggested on the Alpine forum, probably by someone who owns an Alpine and a Healey. In fact, I found the cotton picker oil while looking for cornhead grease. Besides being more readily available, at least if you have a Tractor Supply nearby, it is just slightly thinner than the grease, which <u>might</u> make it easier to get in the box but still thick enough not to leak out. I won’t know until I try it, and that might be a while. This is pretty low on my to do list right now; I just bought it because I was in the vicinity of a TS store, something that doesn’t happen all that often. </div><div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 4, 2021, at 10:28 AM, Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

Side note: The 'goto' for leaky steering boxes in the Austin-Healey
universe is John Deere 'Cornhead Grease;' available at many places
online (and probably equivalent to spindle grease). A friend sent me
a couple tubes, but I haven't tried it yet; getting it in the box is
the hard part.<br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
