Hi, I am restoring my 1984 HJ47 front wheel CV and hubs. When I dismantled all the parts, the existing gaskets were sealed with some sort of silicone sealant which had covered the faces of the joints and around the stud threads, cone washers, steering arm shims etc.

I had assumed that the gaskets lightly greased would provide enough of a seal as the faces of the hub and swivel housing are in good condition. This is the first time I have done a complete strip down of a Land Cruiser hub etc and my question is do I need to apply a gasket sealant to all or just some of the joining surfaces or just lightly grease.

I also read somewhere that it is a good idea to apply some oil to the felt washer at the back of the swivel hub.

Any advice much appreciated and many thanks in advance. Cheers.
