I am in process of renewing the swivel gators on my Series.
Do I stick with the EP90 or go with the one shot grease ?
Indeed, is there any other options, or, what I was considering, was EP90 but grease directly on the swivel before fitting gator ?

Assuming you've UJ joints on the half shafts then EP90 for sure. Nothing else gets into the rollers on the UJs.

 

[Shedload]

No UJ's, straight from axle tube to swivel. Though I have to be honest, what lies inside the swivel housing ?

 

[Wildefalcon]

Err, UJs? CVs? Nothing? Got to be able to steer!

 

[Shedload]

As far as I know steering done through swivels.

Arent you in for a surprise then .

Theres a bendy bit hidden in your balls.

Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks.

So how you gonna do the Gator/seal? do you have split 1s?

What do you mean by a gaiter seal? One of the fittings that go over the swivel ball seal that cover the entire swivel ball?

 

[Shedload]

Yea, thats the one.
The seal is leather, wraps around and is laced up to secure.

 

[Wildefalcon]

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.
