S Shedload Well-Known Member Apr 30, 2025 #1 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 ?

W Wildefalcon Well-Known Member Apr 30, 2025 #9 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?

S Shedload Well-Known Member Apr 30, 2025 #10 Yea, thats the one. The seal is leather, wraps around and is laced up to secure.
W Wildefalcon Well-Known Member Apr 30, 2025 #11 Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.
