If it's square sticking out just use a normal spanner to grip it, if it's a square sticking in use a ratchet to fit into the recess and undo it.

Hop that made sense.

Want to replace and renew the swivel grease. The bolts for the drain and fill holes are square, do I need a special square spanner or can I just use a normal spanner?

I though if you're using the one shot grease you don't drain and recharge just top up.

If the swivel has a drain you use EP90?

Hi, the one shot grease is an up grade to EP90, it's thicker and than EP90 which has the tendency to leak out. You need to drain out the old and refresh with the new grease. It's what's used on the newer defenders etc. you need to warm it up first to squirt it in. Doing it as a service.

 

This is what I have researched but please tell me if I am wrong??

I thought the old type swivels with a drain had a different seal, around the wheel bearing maybe?

The new type swivels TD5 and newer don't have drains do they?

Not sure I'll have a look under mine later.

 

 

Diff breathers- my 2 landys have different types- one is a 14mm spanner, the other a plastic elbow that pushes in.

I'd like to buy a kit for each as both are a little blocked. Any one know where to buy both types in kit form?

Mines a 300tdi best double check now? Have a look later. Thanks for the info
