The steering box may be a good candidate for testing BA freebeard.
The layer formed on the metal would take a bit of the play out of the bearings and worm gear.
I'd just make a paste with about the same consistency as the grease; mix the 2 well and give it a long time to do its thing.
If you wanted to speed up the process you'd want to heat the box to around boiling point while turning it constantly.
That could be done somehow I suppose, with boiling water heating oil, heating the box maybe.
Doesn't seem worth the trouble..
You come across a someone who swings his own spanners and has a compression tester and timing light etc.
I was surprised to find you take the car to others for this type of thing..?
