    Swivel Pin Housing

    94 Disco V8i Auto

    Anybody know how much oil the swivel pin housing takes as I am about to change them and need to get the oil.

    Have checked and it is pre the one shot grease update.

    I assume it takes the same oil as the diffs & transfer case 80-90 EP.


    Also does anyone know how many grease nipples the are on the Disco.

    ps: reading up on this, it appears you can use one shot grease instead of oil, which way would you recomend.

    Regards
    Rich

    I like the one shot as a replacement. Less leak possibilities and the the grease is loaded with moly, good for old cv's.

    I decided to stay with oil over one shot grease, mainly so that I can see if it leaks.

    I used Nulon 80w-90 gearbox & diff oil, each side holds 500ml,

    The oil in the passenger side was down but black, so no water contamination there.

    The drivers side was a brown watery sludge (see pic) so it was water contaminated.

    I think I counted 7 or 8 grease nipples.

    Posted a couple of pics of the swivel housing and the fill holes for those who may not be sure what to look for.

    Thanks mate,

    I will probably go that way next time, I just want to see how much if any leakage there is this time.
