Lower swivel pin leak

ChrisBduck said:

Just wanted to double check if I'm ok to remove the lover swivel pin with everything else still together?
I did the swivel seals bearings wheel bearings etc about 6 months ago,but didn't remove the bottom pin. Sods law i now have a leak from there but id rather not strip everything back out again for a simple gasket if I don't have to

are you sure its not the seal,its unusual for that to leak,but you can remove it just support hub so swivel doesnt move when pins removed

Yes 100%. Everything else is dry as a bone. Only wet from where the pin meets the swivel pin down.
Do you suggest gasket, silicone or both?

gasket unless you can ensure no oil/grease leaks out which would spoil silicone sealing as surfaces must be oil free for it to work
