Use thick oil in the steering box, not grease.

Do as Tom says. Looks like axle grease was packed in for water protection. Bad idea - it's flammable. Repro harnesses include the contact plate with spade connectors, but may not fit well. Clean and reuse original parts whenever possible, they're always better.
