The bolt you reference is one of the bolts that mount the top cover. To fill the grease use the one on the far right.

If I remember right, the service manual calls for turning the wheels one way to the stop, pulling the lower bolt to fill, then turning the wheels the opposite way to stop and filling through the upper bolt hole. This moves the slider block full range, allowing for a complete fill.

I think this is an article that may have been referred to in this forum at some point, but I can't seem to find the post, so .....Steering Box Lubrication (stangerssite.com)

Not specifically for our trucks, but may be of interest. It was to me since plan to lube my steering box when spring arrives up here.

All 3 of you guys are right some & have helped. I did not notice about the cover, and not certain about the lower bolt because I saw this done for a Falcon not a truck. I remember you do as Philthytoo says except u use the same hole to fill & steer truck to max both ways each time filling to comes out hole........I guess U could use different holes......... ....... "and she said".............ha...
