Hi, Im using an import angle head for a bridgeport and the gears are kinda noisy in it. Here is the one im using: Milling Machine Accessory - Right Angle Attachment R8 fits Bridgeport – Eisen Machinery Inc

Is there a way to adjust backlash on these to make them run a little quieter? What kinda grease should be used and how do I know how much to use? I gave it a few pumps and felt a little resistance so stopped. I kinda want to pump more into it, but nervous about too much pressure damaging bearings or seals. Anybody have any manuals for these things? Thanks
