Alpha one Gen II upper steering bushing

[carlos515]

I am rebuilding my gimbal assembly and have a question. When I took the upper steering pivot apart , there was no grease in the top bushing housing. Should I pack this area with grease when rebuilt with new bushing? There is no grease zerk like the Gen 1 . My serial number is 0D753918 .

You can, also since you have it apart, simply drill a new grease fitting into the area if you want.

those fittings can be installed without disassembly too. I have a write up and pics in one of my posts and directions

Thanks Guys,
I drilled and put a grease zerk in.
Now can I use moly grease since it is a friction bushing? Or is the marine grease specially formulated?
