[Healeys] Steering box

[Chris Dimmock]

Hi Mike,
If your steering box doesn't leak, just undo the filler cap and add whatever flavor of gear oil you normally use. 
Or if you want to change it, undo the 4 bolts at the front, let it drain out, tighten the 4 bolts, add oil, and then degrease the chassis & garage floor.  
Penrite is great when your steering box is leaking. You can buy it in a grease tube, put it in your grease gun (preferably a pistol type gun, with a flexible hose) and pump it in. If you buy it in a bottle, I hope you are a patient man. It's like trying to pour molasses.....
This guy explains the process. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UwsfMPWuGg
