The C my son and I are working on had very tight steering and we decided to drain the front pedestal and re-lube it. My wife's turkey and chicken injector did a great job of getting kerosene in there (don't tell her!). It was full of hardened grease and some kind of thick oil. We got it clean and the steering is still a little stiff. Now we want to do the steering gear assembly, we think it's a Gemmer, but can't find the drain for it. The I&T manual has been of no help on this one. Come on guys, we have kitchen utensils to use, help us out with some info!!!!!

To my knowledge, there is no drain for the steering assembly (sector). Most of them leak enought to drain all of the oil.

I don't think that your hard steering is due to hardened grease, as may owners fill the sectors with grease rather than oil.

If your sector is a Gemmer, that may be your problem. The early B & Cs had gemmer sectors. They later used a Ross sector. We have a 42 C which originally had a Gemmer, and we had so much trouble that we repladed it with a Ross in 1944. Check your manual for adjustments on the Gemmer sector as it may be out of adjustment. As I remember, the Gemmer sector steered a lot harder than the Ross. The one good thing about this, is the steering wheel would not spin out of your hands if the front wheels struck a rock, etc. Hope that this is of some help to you.
