Spent most of the day on Chucky today and got the front axle back to 100%. All new brakes, including adjusters, new swivel seals, new oil in the swivels and the swivel pre load adjusted correctly so it should drive nicely again, but that will be tomorrow's job.
The swivel pre loads were indeed quite loose - around 3Kg with no seal in place. The 101 top swivel pin is different from a Series LR so the shims are too. Luckily they both had a .0010" shim so I removed these and got them back just within spec - just over 6Kg. I might see if I can get a shim kit for it so I can get them just a bit tighter but they are better than before and should be fine for a while.
The pins on both sides just lifted out - all nice and oily, no corrosion - so there's something to be said for running oil rather than 1 shot in them.
New seals in - they are a split seal due to th swivel being welded to the axle housing, so a 10 minute job :). 800ml of fresh oil in each side, bled the brakes and the wheels are back on the ground.
Just have a few small things to do in the morning - new overflow tank, engine service and check the other fluids, run the grease gun over everything and I'll be on the road for a good shakedown run. :)
