I've always used STP oil treatment in steer gear boxes.    You know, 
that thick syrupy stuff...  clings like snot on a mustache in 
November.    Steer gear boxes here remain smooth.   Just dribble it 
into the box until it's about as full as it will go.  It's liquid 
enough to pour if you're patient and solid enough to not all run out 
if the shaft seal is questionable.
