to all
Sorry, but I have a hard time buying this one--Grease drying out!
I redid from trunnions, '74 TR6, and the grease was still healthy.
and I am assuming original and just maintained. I would suspect that
any thing left for a long time will dry but these cars have not
been around that long.
These things are lubricated via grease nipple, right? Or am I missing the
point in the use of the word oil.
