Even after putting white lithium grease on my steering shaft, the grommet continues to come out. I finally used gorilla glue (just what I had on hand at the time) to glue it back in after I had used WD40 white lithium grease on the shaft around the grommet hole. I'll be darned if the grommet still did not bind up on the shaft and it ripped it out of the hole again, even glued into the metal of the cab. This really ticks me off because I think this is how mice got in my tractor last year because I wasn't aware the grommet had come loose until it was too late.
I am going to try to clean the entire shaft as Paul mentioned in his video and see if perhaps getting all the crap off from when the original problem started helps resolve anything. Why don't automobiles have problems like this? What is unique to Kubota's design that causes this to be such a pain in the butt? Ugh...
