Subject:      what steering gear grease?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

What grease is OK for the steering gear? Bentley says "Only use special
steering gear grease Part No. AOF 063 000 04 to lubricate steering gear." Any idea
what is an equivalent from FLAPS?

I'm just doing some cursary cleaning and greasing of the rod and ball joint
that is under the steering gear boot while I am replacing the cracked steering
gear boots. But I'm afraid to lubricate anything in there with wheel bearing
grease for fear it will clash with the "steering gear grease." I have manual
steering.

Thanks
