<VV> Steering box grease weight ?

[Charles Lee]

Sounds good - I was thinking the grease would thin out when used, but I 
guess there's not enough heat to do that ?

So, just whip up a soufflé of oil and grease in the blender and pour it in - 
can it be overfilled ?

I'll get some gear oil and have at it tomorrow, after the black widows have 
been eradicated (tried to work earlier tonight, and came face to face with 
yet another one !)

Thanks for the recipe,
Charlie
