to all........ people put grease in boxes because the seal is leaking
and they don't have the tools or it is a big job (as on the m35 where
you have to move the engine)
however grease doesn't work!!!!!! it does not flow to the upper bearing,

and some boxes have roller bearing follower pins, it does not flow in
these.

even if you use a very light grease you are fooling yourself. i just
rebuilt the box in my m35 and put in a new seal and filled it with 90
wt. what a world of difference!! take the time to remove the pittman arm

and replace the seal!!! in the long run it's the only way to go.
