steering rack lubrication

[cadetchris]

having only discover the grease nipple for this today, should i lubricate it with grease or oil?

[bmcecosse]

Endless arguments about this - I use grease. All other racks of same design use grease - including all Minis etc etc . It doesn't run out into the boots!

I have never managed to get oil in so I use grease.

i ues grease as well

My solution is to undo the nipple with a socket (I think a small AF) and squirt in EP90 oil from an oil can. Where is says 20 pumps on a grease gun filled with oil I give it about 20 squirts with the oil can. Then bolt the nipple back on again. Put a little grease in the socket to stop the nipple falling out when removing or re-fitting.

How much grease?

Unless it has obviously run out at the boots - a few pumps of the gun.
