Are you sure on the preload being set with the swivel seal in place? I've always set them with the large seal removed from the back of the housing as per the manual. The seal adds drag and gives a false reading so in reality you're setting them on the loose side.
@@All4Overland also check the preload setting as early Railco bush types are 4.5 to 5 but the later double taper setup is lower, around 1.5 to 2 as I remember. Keep up the great video's. 👍
Well it turns out I have a similar issue, checked the diff oil at the weekend and it was overfilled, but I'm still running oil in the swivels and not grease. I need to change the swivel ball seals and the axle seals. Everything else seems ok so I'm thinking I could just take the whole assembly off! Might be heavy.

Correct. Preload is set without the seal in place as per the manual. Not sure it would make a huge difference, though.
Signed, SEALED and delivered! 🙏👍🏻🦘

The TD5 top pins are Shimmed (or should be) as I recently nipped one of mine up by taking a spacer out (2003 TD5 110)
