you can replace the seal, if you unbolt the ball from the end of the axle, and then remove the brake caliper, it slides off with the half shaft still in, and you can then replace the seal over the back of the ball.
However, if your ball is pitted then no amount of seal replacement will stop it leaking.
Paddocks are selling new take-off balls for £20, im getting one very soon.

if yu are gonna take em apart - its worth considering the gaiters at the same time. They are glued with superglue.
but filling the pits with some of that fancy metal masticky glue gear is very effective

What's all this about stopping leaks, how are people going to check their levels anymore? If there's no oil under it, there's no oil in it!

Thanks for your reply, been around engineering for more years than I care to remember, and been making up o rings from kits with 'glue'. However new to the mysterious world of old land rovers. I thought that someone somewhere would have unbolted swivel ball from axle
