The upper swivel on my Facnor SD165 has become sticky over time, although a little spray of ACF50 into the bearings seems to have helped keep it running freely all summer. The mast is now down and I wnat to do a more permanent fix.
A new swivel is many hundreds of pounds, so I want to have a go at refurbishing the old swivel.
Anyone done this?
What bearings did you use and who did you get them from?
Has the refurbishment been successful?
Related question - anyone replaced the bearing seals on the main drum bearings. I've got grease leaking out and need new seals - any suppliers of these seals?
