I'm Bill yes i did sign up Ive been reading and there is some great thing from every one. Well i bought some Terrain Tamer swivel hub kits and i put them in with new CV because i went to Esperance in WA last year well Ive done a lot of mechanics but not on 4Bes its a GQ patrol i mirrored it all and it seems good. Well my future son in law did his on the weekend and his went in like this .
On the inside of the swivel there is your two plates with 4 bolts on each.
Then the rubbers and then the steel retainer is that right.

Then it got me thinking so i pulled the plates of mine and it was the two plates and then the steel retainer and then the rubbers and not one speck of water and Ive done a lot of water crossing. Its not about who's right its about whats the right way thank if you can help.
Yes i did syn up to get the copy of the Factory manual but I'm wrong there's more to this site than that thanks

Starting from the centre and working out towards the wheel you should have the 2 guard plates (4 bolts in each), the scraper, the grease seal, then the support ring. Your S.I.L. got it right.
