Any suggestions on removing it? Is a total tear down needed? Would John Deere Corn Head grease be acceptable to use or is that bad following worse lube for this application? Thanks in advance, Jerry

Everything mixed up nicely over time and the box functions nicely, with no leaks. I adjusted the steering box as per the Manual and was able to find tight spot at the center just like the book says.
