[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 638543, member: 3481"] Please don't use grease, we strip boxes that have been filled with regular grease and all that happens is it gets pushed to the edges and no longer lubricates the bearings, we use a semi fluid grease designed for steering boxes on things like LandRovers, it's already been mentioned in this thread, it's made by Penrite and we can supply it if you need it, syringe and tube easily gets in in the box when it's fitted but if you are getting a grating noise I'd suggest a rebuild as that's metal to metal and you will have removed the case hardening on the components.
