Swivel Greasing - 6/9/2005 11:01:19 AM

Afternoon all.

I am in the process (waiting for parts anyway!) of rebuilding the front swivels of my 1991 Range Vogue SE. I have new C.V's, swivel housings, seals, wheel bearings.
I have seen some conflicting information of lubrication.
What should I use in the C.V's and swivel housings?
And then, standard grease in the wheel bearings?
Your advice in keeping the front of my truck lubricated in the correct manner would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Keith

Use LR One Shot swivel grease for the CV's. Regular wheel bearing grease for the bearings.
Be sure to set the swivel bearing preload first !

I still prefer to use oil in my swivels, but then mine do not leak yet, I may change my mind when they do...

Thanks guys.

What should the swivel preload be set to - and how do I go about doing so? (These 4x4's are all a bit new to me!)
LR one shot grease? Instead of or as well as EP90?

Sorry for the ongoing questions - but only want to do this once! This is the first time I have carried out any work on a Range/Land Rover. This is used as a tow vehicle for my car trailer - carrying 2.5 tonne plus on a regular basis - as right as it can be is the only way to go
