Reading the above I thought it might be useful to share a few ideas, which might save time for someone going down this path. On my Defender 90 300Tdi to remove the nut from the A-Frame ball joint (which must have been torqued on by a grizzly bear) I used a KS-Tools 6 pt 1/2 drive socket, which...

SAE Grade 8 (10.8) 1/2" UNF (1/2-20) 12 point Flange / Ferry bolts. Bloody expensive in the UK.

300tdi through MOT with 4 new coil springs and shocks and with freshly rebuilt front hubs to replace the ball-swivel joint seals that I replaced back in 2008. Got an advisory about a deteriorating upper rear ball joint. I am guessing that is the one where the A-frame members join. Now need to...

This is a bit funny as I have owned my Defender 90 300tdi for 20 years and registered for this site 10 years ago, and this is my 10th post. This is a quite helpful site. lrukforums was also a good site.

A couple big gobs of No 2 grease behind the mounts. Also a liberal amount of grease on the shock mounting pin and bolt threads. Used penny washers with a lock washer. Next item on the list is the ball joints at the rear axle.

Thanks, I figured out the issue. The bolts are long and go all the way through to the other side of the frame. I might still have to cut them off. Finale: cut off the bolt heads with 4in angle cutting disc and they punched through easily. Frame looks a lot more rusty in the photo than first...

While replacing second rear shock the post at the top of the shock mount broke when attempting to remove the nut. To replace the mount requires removal and it is is held to the frame with three bolts with 17mm heads. These are turning in the frame and not coming loose. Has anyone else...

In the second picture there looks like there is some corrosion on the gasket around the water port which could be enough for it to seep out.

I've a rust hole in my footwell right under the accelerator pedal. Panels aren't very expensive so I'm wondering whether to replace the full panel or get it welded. Plenty of time but have not done this one before and not sure how much effort it is and whether it is better to replace or have it...

I was replacing the P Gasket and replacing the power steering pump at same time on my 95 Defender. No problems with the P gasket but found that the existing pulley (part ERR3733) doesn't fit the new pump ANR 2157. The existing pulley has a hole diameter of approx. 28.9mm and the new pump flange...

https://www.lrukforums.com/ is up and my account still works!

Followed your instructions. Very useful and when finished mine looks pretty decent and not too many new scratches. Couldn't see the pictures - they must have expired. Took me 2 hrs per window doing it by myself. Tricky to get the windows into the rubbers and a real beast of a job to get the...
