I think the swivels seals can be done without removing the ball, we have these on the old military vehicles , just cut the old seal off and cut new one on an angle, put cut at 12 o'clock , never had a problem yet

My rovers ones are starting to weep so I may be doing it this summer

I may get to it one of these days. Gotta get my 35s to run smoothly with BBs in them to balance. 8oz ain't cutting it!

Do the bb's work well, and do you use airsoft or steel? Did you use them in the 285's if so how many oz?

I run these.
Amazon.com: Crosman AirSoft BBs (5000 .25G 6mm, Black BBs): Sports & Outdoors Amazon.com: Crosman AirSoft BBs (5000 .25G 6mm, Black BBs): Sports & Outdoors
Have had about 8oz in each of my 315/75/16 KM2's for a year now with great results.
I know Ian says he put in the same amount of the same kind and hasn't liked them. He thinks they disintegrated in two days but that sounds weird to me since mine have been fine for a year.

I am sure it's a coincidence but now after adjusting preset the swivel seals are leaking

I'm not sure what's up, just assuming 8oz isn't cutting it. I'm going to pop the bead and add16oz of steel BBs. Another buddy is running 13oz of steel in his 35x12.50 STTs and it rides great
