Steering gear lube?

Just checked my newly rebuilt steering gear box because of a tip from someone on another forum. Found the box filled all the way to the top plug with blue chassis grease! Can hardly steer the truck.

This is a Saginaw recirculating ball manual box. I believe the spec lube on it should be 85W-90 gearbox lube, NOT grease! Have heard this many times and have used it for years. Anybody got lube specs, preferably from a FSM or official source? Causing a real serious problem here, thanks!
