Ah think the answer is yes. Ah'm pretty sure when ah did me swivels, the thing with the 'bush' in it came as a one piece and had to be knocked into the ball. just had a look in the manual (from 1983-1995) to see if there's a difference between the v8 and the 200tdi and it doesn't mention it.
Here's a piccy of me old ball and pins....
And here's a handy link...

Cheers buster, looks like the ones!
While i got it all appart i`m gonna replace the ball- its a bit pitted and leakin.
I got a start strippin it lastnight, everything seems to come off ok but the boltheads fastening the ball to axle look like they`re gonna be a pig to get out- the heads are rusty as fook on two or three!
Cheers for the link also, some good stuff on there!

Bear in mind that those bolt heads are 12 point, not 6 point. Get a decent ring spanner on and pull hard, they should come undone.

Nae probs
When ye get yer new balls, try and get a rake of shims in different thicknesses for the top pin. It was a pain in the erse to set it to set it right! Ah just used a set of fishin' scales to set the poundage, by the way, the book recommends 8-10lbs but ah set mine to about 12-14lbs.
Have fun sortin' it out
Oh, if ye look at page 2 of this one, ye'll see what parts ah used when doin' mine...

Just remembered summit else... When orderin' yer balls, take a note of the axle number to make sure ye get the right ones. The number will probably between the diff and axle breather somewhere near the top.
