i run a mix of oil and grease, so the consistency is between the two.

Leaking from new seals is often a sign that swivel bearings are worn.

I am in the middle of rebuilding mine.. Quick question, i believe once its all together you should need about 12kg pressure to move the swivel housing back and forth. is this correct.. Also with the new swivel hub bearings i need shims to take up the gap. I have been told to only put these in the top only and NOT top and bottom evenly. is this correct, thanks.
