Just before winter dropped on us I had to put my 95 300Tdi into storage so changed all oils before I did. I put ATF into main gearbox, EP 80-90 into transfer box and both axles and one stop grease into the swivels. Hope this helps.

drop the sachet in a mug of hot water that'll do it. Also have you drained the old oil out of the swivels? or has someone else used one shot in there already?

Could be EP90 in the swivels but either way make sure the steering is on full lock before squirting each sachet in or you will struggle to get the one-shot in.

DO NOT OVER FILL YOUR SWIVELS!
If you do, the excess will end up over your brake discs, even if your seals are good.
