swivel housing bearing pre-load

some technical info required
had to replace the o/s swivel housing bearings on my sept 2002 td5 after the top one collapsed,but unfortunately didnt have access to a spring balance(even the local angling shop had sold out) and had to continue to build up the axle, needed the vehicle for work etc.
now i,ve bought a spring balance just wondered if any body has a pre-load figure for the swivel housing now it fully assembled i.e seal fitted full of one shot grease etc,so i can check it and if necessary adjust it?

cheers kevin

The workshop manual gives the figures for the swivel without seal and grease which is why i think hes asking. I cant remember what it is fully built but there is a figure somewhere as ive seen it before.

Im thinking of overhauling the swivels and cv joints on my defender this weekend.

Anyone recomend a decent brand to fit, loads of Britpart kits out there, strugling to find anything else.

Famous four have some kits on there web site but no details on manufaturer.

Without it was something like 4kgs of pull,

With it varies on the quality of the seal and the grease. 2002 Defender 110 DC

This is without seals and grease.

Shows that my memory is fading faster than I thought!

I remember it being a very dirty, horrible job and taking a good while to get right. Even now I am not entirely sure it's right. 2002 Defender 110 DC
