Pupose of front axle pivot assembly?

[nhman]

I have a b2910. In the center of the front axle there is a part attached with a screw that is called the front axle pivot assemble. I the parts manual it looks like a screw against a plate and an 0-ring. Does anyone understand the purpose of this part? I've got a leak and am wondering if replacing the 0-ring is as straight ahead as it looks in the parts manual.

thanks

The only leak you should have around your pivot is excess grease.
