What pinion kit?

Rorie · Apr 3, 2019

G reg 90 with a different rear axle- it's got disc brakes. I originally thought it was off a disco, but may not be..

Local landy garage gave me a pinion seal which should 'do most landys'. It had a lip (mud shield?) but the flange compressed/mangled this so I don't think it was right. It's leaking more now than ever before!

So I want to replace with a kit. My parts catelogue shows STC3722 and FTC5322. I also watched a video on YouTube using STC4858.

As I don't know what axle I have, are they all interchangeable? Is one better than another?

theres a choice of 2 seals depending on mudshield fitted to flange
frc8220 seal goes with shield below

or ftc5258 fitted to shield type

you need to fill the inner side with grease or petroleum jellly to hold garter spring in place whilst you tap seal home

Ok he gave me FTC5358 as it has a lip. I don’t know for sure if the flange even had a mud shield on it. Or at least it wasn’t obvious!

If I replace the whole lot (the flange was scored and pitted), can I replace with any kit?

if you use stc4858 remove the spacer if fitted from pinion that sits between flange and bearing race as that flange has spacer incorporated

Ok thanks. So safest is to go for STC4858 then as won't need the spacer regardless if it's there or not?

Cheers

yes, whether yours has nut or bolt that wont matter what kit as as you can reuse the old one

If you don't know what the axle's off check whether the flange is 4 spline or multispline before ordering anything.
