do the swivel housings on later models even have drain/filler plugs? It is not a Defender, it is a One_Ten |

What is this mysterious one shot grease? Is it just moly CV grease, same as any other CV joint, or something special? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Thanks for the reply’s gents. I don’t think that there are any drain plugs on me swivels so I reckon I’ll just shove some more in

Those oring seals fitted to separate the diff oil from the CV joint swivel grease are quite loose. I tend to think those two lubes get mixed at the end. Puma 110" SW

Hi, apologies for the noob question but I'm new to Defenders. Background first: I have a 2007 90 with 56,000 miles and I've just changed the axle oils and fitted mag plugs. For the swivel pins, Haynes manual tells me to drain the oil and refill with EP90. Picture shows where the filler and drains are. Trouble is I have a filler and no drain that I can find. Inspecting the filler and it looks like there's moly grease in there and not oil. The residue around the outside of the swivel pins looks like grease to me. Manual does states later models have the grease for life swivel pins that this thread talks about. Thing is, I've got a 2007. Question is: can I just top up with moly safe in the knowledge I have no drain plug? It is possible the axle has been replaced for a later model one I guess (my truck was a structural write off after having a front ender!).

A 07 def will only have filler plug, no drain and use one shot grease.

Thanks Landy Andy. I needed that re-assurance given the unspecific mention in the Haynes manual as I wouldn't have consider a 2007 to be a "later model" puma! One tube of moly coming up! |
