Propshaft bearings/VCU

freelander fenit · Jun 10, 2011

Hi There,
I have to replace the Two Propshaft Bearings on both sides of the VCU.
as they are shot and causing a clunking sound. Is this a big job? to replace them, and what would be the steps involved. All sugestions welcome.
Thanks.

You need to:

Remove the prop (easiest as one unit) at both ends and remove from the car

Remove the two short props from each end of the VCU

Remove and replace the bearings

Replace

Have a big hammer ready! Should have it done in 60-90 minutes
