Need some claification here :
A) My Haynes manual says to shoot about 10 shots from a grease gun
filled with " proper lube ( gear oil ) into the rack housing when
reassembling it.
In my archives from this list John Twist says " fill the rack housing
with lube ..."
Generally when it comes down to who to believe I always vote for Twist, but
given the construction of the rack housing it would appear that 1) I'm
going to need a lot of gear oil 2) most of that oil is going to be on the
ground shortly after I put it in.
Any thoughts about this ?
The manual also strongly advises the use of a special tool to align the
steering column and pinion shaft . Actually it's more of a jig consisting
of two pointy caps .
I can't find these in any catalog. Anyone know of a work around or source
?
And thanks to all those who responded to my electrical problem ( which has
now been isolated to being somewhere under the dash)
