Oil Seals

(1/1)

Andy the Landy:
Need to replace swivel seals and also the seal at the end of the axle to swivel. Will this alter the castor angle once put back together.
Cheers

ep90:
No - why?

Andy the Landy:
Thought I'd read somewhere that when swivels and housing were stripped and rebuilt the castor angle needed re-setting - might have dreamt it though.

Miniman:
Little trick for you fella. Fill the swivel housings with grease and then do the inner and outer wheel barings. Your swivel's will never leak again and Landrover also have a sticker for this to inform the mechanic that it has been done. Don't forget to grease the top and bottom swivel bearings.

ian_s:
if you do that, the top bush in the swivel might not get enough lubrication
