I am getting ready to put my new kingpin bushings in on the 58. Looking at the Service Manual, it says to use lard as a lubricant for installation.

Any ideas what property of lard makes it appropriate for this? I could go buy a tub of lard and make a disturbing amount of chili with the rest, but it seems like there should be a better way now.
