Oh yeah and they've been leaking like that for months so next week will be fine![]()
if mine were like that i would build up a new axle and swap it![]()
Leaking swivels is a hot topic on land rovers, and general swivel related topics is something I am more or less and expert on these days.
Judging by the road dirt, I'm guessing you don't off road.
That is a major consideration which drastically alters my advice for some people.
There are further options, firstly consider running ep90 in the swivels not grease, it is better for your cv joints and leaks more easily so let's you know sooner when your swivels are LETTING WATER IN (guess what, grease doesn't tell you that)
Is that not a tad extreme?
you need to find out why that seal failed. no point in just replacing seal. if its the swivel ball thats pitted seal will fail again soon and if its the swivel pin bearing replacing the seal wont stop the leak and your bearing will fall apart soon.
Is the replacement exactly the same as on a defender?
