    Thanks again BigJon, Does the oil method only apply to the rear? I am assuming the front must remain with grease due to the swivel housing etc?

    Nope, I have converted my fronts as well. The swivel oil will lubricate them. You will still have to grease the bearings on installation as it will take a while for the oil to migrate there.
