solihull-mick:
The one shot grease looks like normal molly grease to me, just that it comes in a nice tube

random_badger:
Just been looking around and seen a mix of ep90 and cv grease, heard of this before but i've no idea of ratios

electricbluebadger:
saw the 'didnt know if kingpin or bearing', if you mean wheel bearing then that will give you top/bottom/left/right play in the wheel when jacked clear of the ground, kingpin will give top/bottom free play only

Cheers Steve

winchman:
Thanks Badger didnt think of that common sense approach! :lol:

Range Rover Blues:

--- Quote from: "random_badger" ---Looking at putting one shot in, have been recommended to use "normal" CV grease, an MS2  type grease, as this is the same or as good as land rover stuff, any one know quantities to use? manual says 250ml of ep 90, should i go one for one with the grease?.  

Also this may be useful, was told to put some in via the stub shaft cover as this will get into the cv joint as a good starter.  This makes sense to me but just wondered if anyone else has tried this, or can recommend a better solution?

The one-shot grease contains molybdenum dysulphide, same as CV grease but because it needs to get into bearings as well it's runnier and stickier than CV grease, which is a very very high pressure grease.

Personally I'd stick with the one-shot and yes, I put it in through the CV joint/ driveshaft too.  For anyone rebuilding a swivel I recomend coating the top swivel bearinng in either grease or one-shot whilst assembling.

IIRC the manual says fill the back of the wiper seal with MD grease anyway.
