So on my 2016 110, what should I be greasing?
I'm trying to be well set up to protect and look after it into the future! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Yep that was the one I kinda knew - not looked on the recent ones, are they fitted with a nipple? Cheers, David

Mine has no grease nipples in any of the steering gear which surprised me.
All my universals have nipples fitted(MY12). The drive flanges as mentioned, mine where dry when I got it with 3 years of use. Long term maintenance when you want to go pulling things apart as time/millage gets on... Wheel bearings. Swivel hubs/CV's. With great risk of opening a can of worms... Although not listed by LR for maintenance don't forget the dreaded adaptor shaft. Cheers, Kyle. |

How do you grease them? What do you do once you've remove the dust cap? |

Weld the back ones up and lube the fronts with some ep90

Remove circlip. (If initial inspection shows a lot of corrosion it's probably a good idea to have some spares and/or just install new ones after, they're real cheap...) Remove 5X flange bolts and pull off the flange, a tap with a hammer will assist in breaking the gasket connection to the hub (and if corroded breaking any 'rust-weld' between it and the halfshaft). Easier to do than explain If the halfshalft comes out on the rear, no fuss, good opportunity to check the internal splines also... Clean up the flange and hub from gasket residue (use a gasket scraper or something expensive from the kitchen), clean up flange and outer shaft splines and inspect backlash/meshing. Replace if required (and your wallet permits). Use OEM and/or bearmach or better, definitely not britpart pattern. Otherwise grease up splines. Easy! I used heaps (to allow for the wiping action of the reinsertion) Insert shaft into axle, fiddle until it seats properly into the diff, oh and try to be careful not to force the internal seal out of the stub axle if you get resistance after the first 200mm or so. Clean flange bolts or install new, return flange and new flange gasket, torque up to WSM spec (and loctite if specced). Circlip, grease packed dust cover, wheels. Drive to shop to get some biccies. (I'll look up torque specs layer, phone currently on %3 battery!) Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants... |

Just reading posts on drive flanges and have been looking at potentially changing mine eventually, however as the vehicle is pretty new I thought I would just whip off the drive flanges and lubricate the splines first. I know folks have used grease but I quite like Rocol anti scuffing paste and wondered if anyone has used this in preference to grease to lubricate the splines?
