If the chrome on the swivel ***** is in good shape, as well as the seals, and you have a drain plug on the bottom of the housing (you don't say what year Disco you have) then gear oil works well as you can easily change it after wading, or with your regular change of diff fluid. It's a bitch to get the grease out.

was it '96 when they eliminated the drain plug & factory one-shotted them?
my '97 does not have drains, but did have oil.
I filled with one shot and jb'd my swivels two years ago.

Take your 1/2" OPEN END WRENCH and use the OPEN end on the nut, you may need to clean the threads alittle with a cleaner, like carb or brake cleaner.
Make damn sure nothing falls inside the hole once you get the nut out, get dirt in there and your CV joints will go south quick.
