Oh Dear my Steering sounds as if its Bust
Brian the Sn@il:
£ 40 inc all gaskets / Lock nut and grease
From JSF
Looks like a greasy weekend :( in the cold :(
Range Rover Blues:
Not the end of the world.
Calliper off (remove brake pipe bracket from under the top swivle pin bolts, then refit them. Have a jack under the hub whilst you do that bit).
Outer drive shaft off
Hub off
6 bolts remove the stub axle, oil falls into the tub you had ready :oops:
CV comes out in peices, using a magnet perhaps
Clean up and refit, cleaning is the longest part provided the calliper comes off.
Check the 6 stub axle bolts carefully, they should have had thread sealant on them as they are drilled right through into the oil cavity, I've seen them come out with the female thread still attached, rendering the swivel body scrap.
Brian the Sn@il:
It was mild this morning so had a go at it.
Well what can i say.....
Can of Worms springs to mind :lol:
I had the can all ready to catch the oil, but there wasnt any just rusty water :(
CV joint came out in bits also as expected.
But there more, the main swivel oil seal needs to be changed also. As i can see they are gone :(
So stated to loosen of the steering etc etc.
Hello somethings a wobbling here, it was the roller bearing race bottom, wobbly and completely destroyed.
THis may be my wallowing from side to side problem found at last.
So have left it now, time for a tea break and another go on Monday.
Still losts to get off to get to the swivel oil seal :(
Range Rover Blues:
That's why I try to avoid wading if I can help it. The failed oil seal could have been caused by the loose swivel, or vica-versa :?

My commiserations Brian... but if it's any consolation... I had other problems to cure as well as my CV... Passenger side went a couple of years ago. As I was taking the wheel off... I noticed it moved a whole lot more in fr too many planes! :shock: The swivel bearings were goosed... and after a quick check... it was proven to be both sides!
I did it in about 3 days parked on my jacksie by the axle with the car on axle stands ( O:) ). My back was killing me by the time I'd finished!
Good luck on Monday matey!
