I want to renew grease in swivel pin housing on my 97 Disco. I have found the fill plug, but can not find the "level" or "drain" plug. I have cleaned every bit of dirt off the housing and still can not locate. Can anyone assist? | ||

There is not a drain or level plug on a '97. I disassembled and rebuilt my swivel balls and renewed the grease as part of that procedure. Somone else can post with suggestions on renewing the grease through the filler plug. | ||

That's comforting news. Every manual I could find showed the level and drain plug. I have the grease tubes coming by mail. I guess I need to figure out a way for air to escape so that the grease can go in. | ||

Jerre, Just put the grease in, it'll fit and be fine. -L | ||

If you want to flush the old out - fastest way with no drain plug is to remove the seal retainer and oil seal on the inside (without removing swivel from axle). Bill |
