Oily ball joint on front axel.

Well the most technical thing I've ever really done is replacing my discs and pads etc so bit of a novice lol willing to give anything a go though. It's all one big fun learning curve, until you break something

Yes, sorry I forgot to reply.

In its basic form all you need is:

If you do not regularly do this sort of work then you may need:

Grease: www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php/service...of-grease/p_130.html

Sealant: www.bigjimny.com/store/index.php/service...e-sealant/p_131.html

Most people do not bother with changing the large swivel, they just clean up the old one but if you want one then you need one of these:

The guide on how to do it is here:

The guide is a bit keen and gets you to separate the disk backing plate to dismantle the joint, this is not strictly necessary and these are the bolts that often stick so be aware that you can get away without doing this bit.

For a beginner the hardest part is often getting the bearing race out of the hub, people get disheartend trying to hammer it out, but keep trying, it will come out.

Would you recommend changing the swivel as you said it's not necessary and I could just clean up the old one? Although I'm thinking whilst I'm doing it I might as well make it all new.

So is this what my basket should look like if I want sort out my wobbly leaking wheels then?


And will I only need the one tube of copper sealant and one tub of waterproof grease?

Yes, that would do both ends of the axle.
