Simon:

In my first post, I was mistaken =E2=80=93 I was remembering doing that =
job on my tri-carb, only it was on the steering box, not the idler.  =
Makes a lot of difference re: draining =E2=80=93 the steering box side =
can be drained by loosening the 4 bolts holding the bottom cover on =
enough to let the oil drain out over a couple of days into a container =
placed below,  which is what I did.  Unfortunately, as Mike has queried, =
there is no way to do this on the idler side =E2=80=93 about all one can =
do is use some kind of a small suction device to get out whatever can be =
gotten to that way through the fill hole.

The Penrite is so thick that you=E2=80=99ll need to warm it up and use a =
small injection device to properly top it off.

Sorry for the =E2=80=98brain fart=E2=80=99.  Or maybe it was the good =
Russian Vodka taken earlier on the day that I wrote the post.  =
Doesn=E2=80=99t matter, getting old!

Many thanks to one and all.

a)      I had misread the parts diagram. I knew something was a bit off, =
hence the query.

b)      Indeed, an apparently simple task is a potential labour of =
Hercules and I=E2=80=99m very glad that I asked!

c)       I shall fill the thing up with Penrite Steering Box lube and =
see how that goes.
