1977(ish) SWB Series III - oil on brakes

<< < (2/2)

dapleb:
Just to report back.  Replaced the seal in the axle casing and all sorted.  Replaced the swivel while there and used the tube grease......seems to work fine Mostie, no leaks and nice and simple to squidge it in to the housing.

To check the breathers you could just check that the spring mech is still working.  or just remove it and inspect.  Mine was stuck in the open position.  They are cheap enough that its worth replacing them anyway if they are suspect.  

Cheers

--- Quote from: "Mostie" ---Sounds like I have a similar problem on my 90. This is going to be next weekends job (replacing the seals and doing bearings at the same time), is there an idiot proof method of testing the breather pipes?

If it's got a pipe on it then I'd just disconnect it from the axle and blow through it with an airline.

I think 90 / 110, Disco etc actually have a pipe attached to the breather. Not like the series breather.

Dangermouse:
