300tdi cluch folk problems

sorry not been on for a while but i have a problem!
ok not me but the bro in laws cluch folk has snapped AGAIN!!!
bastid thing, that means i have to get my spanners out again.

ok a bit of history


the disco 300 has had 4 clutch folks in the last 2 years
the first broke the pin original landrover we think?
the second BRITPART punched a hole in the pivot
same with the 3rd, swivel ball was replaced!
and now the top pin has snapped (we think, as box is not off yet)
talking to a guy at the local indy landy garage he says there's a problem with the spigot shaft or the bell housing???
i cant see how any problem could occur with the bell housing
or the spigot shaft going out of line as the bearing were nice and tight last time the box was removed.
could this be possible or is it just **** quality parts???
any info would be a great help
box will be out this week end new folk is on order from paddocks.

thanks in advance

Nick

Forget **** part forks , buy a HD one ( not from paddocks as it'll be ****part ) , Make sure that the bearing slides up and down the shaft really easy , also lube up the pivots well too , the whole lot should be a smooth action .

just noticed you bought one already from Paddocks lol .

Ok then when it turns up , get some flat bar and weld it to the other side of the pivot recess - that should stop it punching through on the fork .

thanks for the replies mate
but is there anything that could go out of line to cause the folk to snap a pin off or is it just coz its ****part folks that are being fitting it

just poorly made and crimped where the pins are mounted . just re-enforce it the best you can when it arrives mate
