    If the bearing doesnt come with grease, buy a pot and get some brake cleaner to clean the old crap out of the hub.

    Oh sorry...blackberry is annoying on the 'net! The drive flange bolts are normally ok ... Put some loctite on when you put them back on.

    Busters threads will tell you how to do it....and paddocks do a swivel seal kit. Normal torque wrench fone and sockets plus ring spanners...you need one of those to release the swivel from the axle case as a socket won't fit in the gap. You say you have a weekend...start early as you can cos...

    Why don't you try and source second hand swivel housings? I hadn't a clue before I rebuilt my axles ... Its really a lot easier than you think. Take your time and you'll save yourself loads of money and learn a lot in the process
