One Shot in a series vehicle

Aug 15, 2003 4 Replies

Hi All,



I have the leaky seals etc on swivels, I went to local landrover type of guy for one shot, but he told me I should not bother as this was designed for Range Rover, 90 & 110 etc.



Apparently, the series vehicles require the oil from the swivels to flow through to the wheel bearings, and if I put grease in, then the grease wont service the bearings as oil will, also, he thinks that the grease wont load the top pin - any comments?



Thanks



Roger


its all a " in my opinion" type of an argument,

ive had one shot in, with no problems. ( well not directly related to the one shot anyway )

and depending how bad the chrome ball is, you could just re-new the large seal, and put 50/50 oil and one shot in.

its always concernd me as to the amount of one shot you get, as there doesnt seem to be enough to get it to come over the filler hole. so you could double it up in each swivel just to make sure theres enough in,

it seems a standard thing to do with leaky swivels.

Correct

Use one-shot designed for Railko bushed vehicles - it's thinner than standard LR one-shot - a couple of companies advertise the stuff. Or just take the plunge and service the swivels!

you need whats called FLUID GREASE or LIQUID GREASE .

it comes in 1 litre bottles and can be poured, but is very thick .

is used a lot in plant eqpt .

try a commercial vehicle parts supplier to find some .

LR supply 1-swivel-sized sachets, which are doubtless an expensive way of buying it, but handy nonetheless.
