grease on the rear disk

<< < (2/2)

Range Rover Blues:
Your biggest problem will be the brakes won't be working on the oily disk.  You'll need new pads and some brake cleaner.

If you decide to DIY then new seal should sit inside the hub be 4mm, not flush with it.  Fitting the seal can be fiddly the first time, perhaps get 2 so you have a spare.

If it's leaking though you need to check the rear axle breather too, it's probably blocked.

Unscrew it from the top of the axle and clean the hollow bolt out with some fusewire (an old tie-wrap/jeweler's screwdriver etc) and re-assemble, don't over-tighten it though.

Then you need to keep an eye on it, mine keeps going every few months, I reckon I need a new stub axle.

If you're realy not happy to DIY then in this instance I'd say take it in, there is the possibility of the job getting harder without warning and if the calliper bolts are stuck that's the end of it.
