No zerk because it was built to hold oil, not grease. People just shoot grease in the box through the oil fill hole.

People say grease gets pushed out of the binding surfaces in a steering box and doesn't flow back inbetween the metal, so people don't use normal wheel bearing grease. The steering box doesn't get hot like the wheel bearings.

Supposedly cornhead grease still flows because it is a semi liquid grease.
