I have this MAFCA book on Tiny Tips that recommends (on page 202, Second printing, March 2016) pumping in as much chassis grease as you can (then trun steering full L to full R a few times) and then filling voids with EP140 gear lubricant, as much as it will hold.
The claim is that the chassis grease will stop the usual leaks.

Anybody used this technique? Results? Recommendations?

I know about the "end plate with the long tube", Bratton's #5280.

Share your comments on comparison using the a)end plate w/tube vs b) chassis grease + EP140!in effectiveness based on your experience!
