Automental Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Hi, Does anyone know what size grease nipple to use to lubricate the steering rack, or perhaps which part number? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 When I had my TR7 I remember being told they didn't require maintenance so none listed! Even the Restoration Guide I bought shows maintenance to the rack, including greasing the rubbers, and doesn't mention one. However I think the manual says to replace the blanking plug with a 'suitable' grease nipple and from a quick Internet search I think that's a 3/8 UNF thread. Can't find a part number anywhere, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automental Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 Thanks Colin, yes the good old Haynes manual suggests 5 strokes of grease every 12000 miles so I thought I'd better do as I'm told. Appreciate your advice. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
