Hi so far i have changed the front discs and pads, the rear shoes and brake cylinders, 3 x diff mounts (thanks hippo for the guide). So now its time to tackle the creaking rear off side. There is a 5mm gap between the sub frame mount and the body, so i stuck a bar in the gap and lifted...

Hi Forgive me but where is the Q & A section. I cant seem to find it? Thanks Sailorden

Hippo, Just a word of thanks. With your excellent guide I was able to replace my diff mounts. There was some pain, sweat and tears, but at least I knew what I was doing (which is unheard of!). I'm now doing repairs that I never thought possible which in the past would have had me running...

Hi, Thanks all for your suggestions. In the end I resorted to a cold chisel and a lump hammer and the bolt heads popped off like they were shot out of a cannon! More dumm questions from me in the future I fear! Thanks again!

Hi I am working on a freelander (year 2000). The brake cylinders on the rear drum brakes were weeping so I decided to change the cylinders at the same time as I changed the brake shoes. I cant get the brake cylinder mounting bolts out. I used an 8mm ring spanner and it just slips...

Just a short note to say Hi. I'm working on an old 2000 Freelander, so expect some dumm questions from me in the near future as I get to grips with this beast! Thanks Sailorden :D
