Morning!
I picked up a used rotary steering box w/ cable. The grease on the cable is pretty black... can I pop open the back and clean and re-grease it without stuff flying out at me??

Thanks

Hi all,
Surely someone knows about this. It looks like you can take it apart (3 bolts) easily.. just didn't want springs flying out at me! Anyone ever refurb a used steering system??

Thanks!
