A contribution from the wife...
My wife Maureen is not in to old cars, but always just let me do my thing, no complaints or rules...
She is a retired pastry chef.... 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. |

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.

Perfect solution. The bible says we should have a 'suitable helpmate' I have one as well. "Don't git no better than that":

Re: A contribution from the wife...
You didn't say if you bought her a new frosting piping bag. I'm sure she would not want to reuse that one.
Probably had to take her out to dinner too! |

I bought an extra grease gun just for the Corn Head Grease.
