One other thing… do I use the same rationale while filling the front universal chambers. I prefer oil and not grease as I’ve lost one of the universals as it ran dry and I could not check oil levels?

thanks, havent done that yet.

Mmm… I see that the splines on the other side are quite damaged and will replace that shaft as well. I am replacing the all the oil in the diffs and gearboxes. Question though… If I fill the front diff with the recommended quantity of oil it starts to run out the filler hole...

Picked up all the parts today and will be reconditioning both rear wheels. Obviously new ss and drive-member for the left and new bearings and seals for both rears. Along with this I’ll replace all the oil in both diffs, front hubs, transfer case and gearbox. Some TLC is long...

I’ll have a look on both sides. Both wheels are spinning out grease on both the inner and outer seals so I need to disassemble both in any case. Thanks

OK. Looks like I found the culprit. The LH spline seems to be stripped with the shaft turning in the hub. I have not removed anything yet but assume this means I need to pull and replace the side shaft. Thanks

Hi Had a quick look.. jacked up the font one at a time with both fronts driving. Lifted the rear with neither of the rears driving. In hind sight this makes sense as the diff will probably turn the broken one easiest. I will guess the rh shaft is broken and will start with it as the rh...

My favourite LR (my only) is giving some trouble. It’s a 96 Tdi 110. After a loud thud (sounded left front) on a flat tar road in town, I lost drive power to the wheels. I engage the central diff lock and could move again. My initial thought was that I broke my left front hub (I broke the...

Hi I’ve been driving LR’s for quite some time with my favourite a 96 110 defender. I live in Cape Town, South Africa.
