sardonicus:
This may be a silly question but is there supposed to be oil in the outer bearing that has washed all the grease out ,on an '82 rr?

hairyasswelder:
eerrrrrr no  :wink: possibly diff oil leaking through the seal

Range Rover Blues:
I'd put money on it mr arse-welder :)

The not-so-bad news is that the oil will protect the bearing so it's not a life-threatening failure but the first thing to check is that the axle breather is not blocked and that the swivel housing has the correct amount of oil in it.

Try the one-shot grease in your swivles if you decide it's worn seals as it tends to migrate less.

Once you have found the culprit clean and repack the hub bearings, you cannot trust the outer seal to keep all the oil out though, they aren't that good.

Difflock:
What is this one shot grease stuff and where do you put it,I thought oil went into your swivels hence the fill up plug and level and drain plug ??

It is a tube of grease that replaces the oil in your swivels.
When the swivel seals leak out all your oil and the pits in the swivel keep wrecking new seals, the grease is a thicker viscosity so less prone to leaks creating a cheap easy soloution  :wink:
