zim Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Morning ! Ok, this isn't really landrover specific, but at work i fit a lot of seals. And everyone seems to have a different idea of which ones you put light oil, grease, nothing on etc... I'm referring to rubber seals, which are either round (i.e. like O'rings), 'squared' round (i.e. an O'ring but which the rubber is a square), or like a 1/2" 'strap' wrapped round in a circle. They are all used between metal & metal or metal & ceramic. All the fluid i'm dealing with is mainly a water based liquid...But we have just done a couple weeks where we were drilling with an oily liquid. (Pumping c. 1,000 gallons / minute at c. 4,000psi). So how do you fit your seals ???? G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I fit stainless steel garter spring shaft seals to the winches at work with an EP LF grease, they are intended to withstand sea water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
