Ashley110 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi Where do I fill the swivel ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Look at the front of the swivel. Depending on the age of your vehicle, you will see either one or two square headed "bolts" - one is the drain (low down) the other is the filler (near the top) I believe later vehicles don't have a drain...... I think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparg Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 on one of those pics, Dan, you've rubber gaiters on the swivel - that usual? - I don't have those on the td5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantd5 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 on one of those pics, Dan, you've rubber gaiters on the swivel - that usual? - I don't have those on the td5 I got the gaiters on myself because it was attracting organic matters and sand. The truck (defender 110 99 mod) was not delivered with it . I bought it on EBLing and mounted it. An easy operation though.. DLS got it!!

Ashley110 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks Western It was 3/8. Ok so I only have the one plug is this then a fill and level point? Rave says put in 375ml - I put in 500ml Castrol EP90 and it was not filled to the plug. Have I over done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's the fill & level plug. swivels without drain plugs are meant for the one shot grease that LR changed too, 1 sachet per side, older swivels that used EP90 the level is to the bottom of the level hole threads.

Rave says put in 375ml - I put in 500ml Castrol EP90 and it was not filled to the plug. Have I over done it? Miles too much. Older vehicles had a level, drain and fill plugs, later ones just the fill (and were supposed to be 'filled for life' ha ha ha ha ) Don't panic too much, it'll blow through into the diff housing so when you go to check the front diff you'll know why it's overfull.
