It may be that the shoulder on the coupling bolt keeps some clearance when locknut tightened up, obviously it needs to swivel around without too much play, you need to ensure the coupling is engaged properly with both selector pins when you reassemble, im not even sure if it would go back...

Not seen Blackburn for ages but he had a good download here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/transfer-box-question-turning-wheels-by-hand-with-vehicle-raised.378327/#post-5341336 Should be able to see what’s going on or not using his measurements

I bet some are but I bought a decent brand last time May have been Delphi , still in the box!

Don’t know why they changed them probably an improvement but bet both types a bugga to refit

Good test for that put that rubber pipe into can and suction side of pump and see what comes out when hand priming if nowt then pump needs attention

Well done both of you at least you know where to look

Good tip I didn’t do that 😀

If you can open up the clamps and reuse the m then no need to worry about the rivets , only need then if you need to make a new clamp and rivet it on I would strip and clean and have a check, I got a surprise and found two snapped leaves on one side , so I chopped down the 2nd shortest to match...

Once you get spring off , then either Couple G clamps or put in vice and there is a both goes through middle about 8mm you can buy the part or use an 8mm Allen bolt , I’ve done both There is the clamps around springs to remove too just open up with chisel/ big screwdriver to release leaves Undo...

You don’t hang around ☺️ at least you have new springs then all around

Forgot to mention you can also check the free camber and compare with spec in handbook My new rear springs were quite close to what they should have been before fitting

Fairly easy to check, and clean up and put back together

The hanger bolt centres on mine is 90mm with a 12mm gap before spring hits chassis, Note the angle of the dangle on mine it’s much more vertical than your hanger To me it suggests a weakened spring, think I counted 11 leaves on yours as it should be but are they all intact of one or more...

Shouldn’t have thought you could fit them wrong way round , did you say you had fitted new springs Can you post a pic of the whole spring I’ll measure my hanger lengths tomorrow, I have an 88 diesel,, should be 11 leaves with 9 leaves just on the petrol

My fave too, when I went there to collect a new axle 3 years ago they mentioned they were looking to keeping it open but we’re a bit cagey on saying too much at that time Great that they’re still open and hopefully continue

Not a defender but just renewed my S3 for £107 today with performance direct , cheaper than last year

That’s really clever well done 😃
