yes mate. take yer front wheels off, take off the callipers, undo yer hubs and pull the shafts, clean the axle tube, grease the o rings on the tube seal and tap em in gently. put all yer stuff back together, fill the tube seals with marine grease and yer done. easy 8-)

grease from a JCB does the job nicely........think about it - simuler application!

hmmmmmmm  well i have collected - not one but two engines, the nissan sd35t it'a a four cylinder lump (ruddy heavy actually) but can't decide if i want this as a transplant, the problem is it's an eighty's engine (old school) but for the manual i had to buy it from .........wait for it - austraila and the gaskets from the good old usa, my concern is parts when traveling,


the project is on hold as other more pressing projects take precedent, if only i had more time!!!


smt in sweden have a transplant kit to fit a mercedes-benz turbo diesel engine, this would be ideal for me obviously considering my role here.

Get to a chandlery and ask for quicksilver 2-4-C (phone em first) its wot I use on all general marine greasing applications, its the dogs pencil!!, if there are splines involved then use quicksilver 101, its the dogs pencil too!

they both are water resistant and both have teflon in them, 101 is mega bucks though.

If your stuck I can supply 2-4-C in a squeezy tube, around 6 quid  + postage, which wont be much, bout a quid.

Hope this helps 8-)
