420ponies Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Ok Everyone, What do we do for grease in the column? I'm finally getting this back together ( grandpa now) and wanting to know what type of grease to use. it looks brown but still think i can use it. Thoughts? Quote
MC1of80 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I'm sure everyone has their preference but I use the "red" wheel bearing grease. Have never had a problem and stays where you put it like the factory grease. That's what GM told the dealer I worked at in the late 80s to use. Lol Quote
LuckyKenny Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I use olive oil, only because I'm Italian. Quote
420ponies Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks Guys !! No olive oil here. I do have some of the red stuff, from my lower unit (outboard motor) I thought it would be to sticky Quote
420ponies Posted September 11, 2018 Author Posted September 11, 2018 Hey Guys, I got it fixed. It was more of a brace issue along with the ignition rod binding up on the brace. All is good. I used a bearing paste style grease. Quote
