[Tigers] Possible solution to servo issue

[Jay Laifman]

Unless my dad had it rebuilt twice, this one was rebuilt about 10+ years
ago by Smitty.  I have no idea what he might have used.  I'm going to open
it up next time I get out to the car and check all these details, including
if the piston pops back as Pete suggested, and for the debris per Ron.

FWIW, the guy who told me about taking out the foam said that the problem
with most lubricants is that the vacuum running through there ultimately
whisks it all out - especially the silicone sprays.  Jerry said the same
thing.

Gary and Kirk suggested using Girling Red Grease.  Can I get this at a
local auto supply shop?
