I am in process of renewing the swivel gators on my Series.
Do I stick with the EP90 or go with the one shot grease ?
Indeed, is there any other options, or, what I was considering, was EP90 but grease directly on the swivel before fitting gator ?

Assuming you've UJ joints on the half shafts then EP90 for sure. Nothing else gets into the rollers on the UJs.

No UJ's, straight from axle tube to swivel. Though I have to be honest, what lies inside the swivel housing ?

Err, UJs? CVs? Nothing? Got to be able to steer!

As far as I know steering done through swivels.

Suggest you trawl online and get a manual for your flavour and read it in bed at night/Breakfast in the morning and during your tea breaks

What do you mean by a gaiter seal? One of the fittings that go over the swivel ball seal that cover the entire swivel ball?

Shedload · Wednesday at 14:02

Yea, thats the one.
The seal is leather, wraps around and is laced up to secure.

Wildefalcon · Wednesday at 14:18

Okay. Gotcha. Stick with the EP. Ensure the leather is thoroughly soaked in petroleum jelly. Nothing else.
