110's have Sailsbury rear axles, so they're different.

if I put the other side in, and push it over, surely it will make it worse?

But the front one ain't a Salisbury, and ah've had the shafts out of it when ah did the swivels

My rear one must be special then Odie cos it's got a circlip on it....

It is Buster, it's a Salisbury like wot yer gets on a 110 - bombproof.

Normally the rear one int got the circlip and the driveshaft and the driving member are the same bit, it don't go through it like it does on the front one.

Oddie · Jun 30, 2008

110's only have the salisbury on the rear though

Must keep up!

That piccy is the rear drum on a salisbury axle on me 110! And it's the same on me other 110 as well. Does that mean ah've got two special axles?

Oddie · Jun 30, 2008

Only special coz they is on a 110 - and 110's have salisbury axles.

bustersbus · Jun 30, 2008

and make sure they're in focus

bustersbus · Jun 30, 2008

OOOOOOOOO! Just noticed summit! Shouldn't this be in the 'Discovery' bit????

Right, I think I might have sussed it, but would like confirmation from someone who knows.

This was the problem - I couldn't get the half shaft in that last 1/8".

I bought the axle off flea-bay and it came with the hubs and half-shafts separate from the axle casing.
Working from the exploded diagram in Rave and the parts manual. I ordered all new bearings, seals, washers and nuts. The parts manual listed the spacer washer, which goes between the inner nut and the outer bearing / seal as "FTC5241 Washer Stub Axle" which is this -

...it's about 3mm thick and is the same O/D as the bearing seal.

However, my axle came with a different washer, loosely fitted between the 2 nuts on the stub axle. This is about 6mm thick, had an out-moulded rubber seal on one side, and fits inside the outer bearing seal.

... in this picture you can see it behind the nut.

This, thicker, washer doesn't appear on the exploded diagram in Rave or in the parts manual.

If I fit the thick washer and the thin washer under the inner nut, I can't get the half-shaft all the way in. If I omit the thin washer I can.
(The O/D if the thin washer is bigger than the I/D of the drive member.)

So, like this, the half-shaft won't fit...

Like this, it will...

Have I got it right now, even though it appears different to Rave?

For Buster's reference, this is a Rover rear axle half-shaft - it's all one piece with the drive-member.

'Ere Trewy, is that thinner washer not the one that goes between the two nuts?
Here's a couple of pics cos it looks like what ah had.....

This is the thick washer in place...

then the first nut...

then the thin washer...

then the second nut....

then bent over the two nuts to lock them in place...

Nah mate, the tab washers are a different part number and are only about 1mm thick.

Was your "thick" washer just a flat washer, or did it have a domed side that fitted inside the outer bearing seal?

It was worth a try

Emmm.. ah can't quite remember now if the thick one was flat or domed...Soz

Ah maybe would've, but got me front shocks to do tonight!

Trewey · Jul 1, 2008

Anyways, I've purrit all together now, without the thick washer.
Refurbished the calipers and fitted them too.
Just got to do the brake pipes and the Diff input flange seal, then it'll be ready to fit onto me Deepender.

Hope it works out ok Trewy
