UPPER STEERING COLUMN BEARING GREASE?

maybe it does work on column shift. The column in example above does have shift tube and spring.
If I could find the replacement ball bearings to put in the mast bearing housing I would try and put the old housing back together. Classic Industries has the 67 specific column rebuild kit that comes with a bag of replacement balls but it costs about $170 and I don’t need the other bits
included.
