So one of the last tasks I had to do on the ‘33 Phaeton I got recently was put corn head grease into the steering box, as it is said to be the best stuff to use. But how to get it in there?
I asked her if she had any ideas, and after looking at the project, she had the perfect solution. She used a cake frosting piping bag. Filled it with the grease, squeezed it right in... worked perfect, so just passing on this tip.

That is a good idea. Another good idea in my opinion?
I took an extra filler plug, drilled and tapped for a grease fitting. I install it when I am filling a fresh box. With the pressure of the gun, I am confident the box is completely full.
Then? I replace the fitted cap with the proper filler plug.
