| 880365 | 2010-05-31 19:45:00 | Knowing early Fords, just about what ever crap they had lying around unused at the time | gary67 (56) | ||
| 880366 | 2010-05-31 20:05:00 | Ohh, just remembered how the rubber sterring boots had a tendency to be too short to handle full lock... and consequently break open almost from new. I would suggest you aim for a grease that can accommodate water and dirt, and won't readily liquify if it gets a little warm... and be prepared to repack it with fresh grease regularly. |
