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.

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

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.

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?

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

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