What kind of grease do you use for steering racks?

[Paul Heneghan]

For the last two years, I've put up with a steady drip from the steering
rack on our 1989 Avant 2.2E.  It's now turned into a steady trickle, so I've
ordered a reconditioned rack (GBP169 from Euro Car Parts).  My Bentley
manual says I need to grease it with gear grease and gives some strange part
number.

Has anyone any idea what kind of grease this is?

Any tips I need when replacing it?  Providing I can get at all the hydraulic
unions, it looks fairly straightforward.
