Hi Martin, if the swivel seal is leaking the most probable cause is worn kingpin bearings, as the seal is a dust seal not an oil seal.Usually the only things to change are the kingpin bearings and the internal axle oil seal. I have never needed to change the swivel seal or the actual kingpins. There is an excellent guide to doing this job in the Big Jimny wiki at the top of the page
Hope it goes well

As Wombat says, it's very unlikely you need to replace all of those parts and if it's leaking oil its the small driveshaft seal that has gone, usually caused by work kingpin bearings so the bearings and driveshaft seal are normally all you need. They are standard size parts and cheap to buy, either from the BigJimny store or a local bearing supplier. Expect to pay between £20-30 per side, depending on the quality of the bearings.
