buffy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Guys Now the inportant part i have a knock when taking up drive and there is some wear on the pinion shaft which seams to much and could be the fault i an looking for ,mine is a V6 Automatic Has any one Had to remove thr pinion housing and replaced the bearings with in it . What problen did you have What parts need replacing What sort of price did you pay for spares How easy was it to replace the bearings On reading the manual it surgests to recored the torque settings, how do you do this and hold onto it it segests a special tool which i have not got what else can be used? What is a collapsible spacer or is it a spacer that when fitted and collaps on final torque setting giving the pre-load on the tapered bearing What a big problem but i am sure some one has replace it regards chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Before you do that I would check the rear diff bushes because they wear and you get a metallic knock on the diesels as you come on and off the throttle so you may well get the same knock putting an auto in drive.

buffy Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 HI WestenderYour brilliant I have only a land rover service disc and that info is not on it or I cant find it Many thanks I try tomorrow Regards Hi Westender I just resived some of the parts i order from Land Rover to repair my IRD unit it consists of a flange ,o ring ,studs,main shaft nut,colapsal spacer,NO bearings or oil seals this cost £143.00,Land rover do not supply bearing and oil seals for this unit any more so i will have to go to BSL for these. What does your Haynes manual say about checking the turning touque of the existing bearings and the turning torque of new bearings sepecaly if you torque up the bearings to 111 lbf.ft also what does it say on any back lash in the bevel gear on the end all should the orginal spacer be OK. i look forward to be hearing from you regards chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WESTENDER Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 buffy sorry about speed of reply, work called unfortunately, according to Mr Haynes the preload must be set by a Landrover main stealer and so dosent give a value, but you can reuse the spacer, no mention of backlash at all, so not much help there then hope some of this is helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the end float and back lash i can only think that using the new spacer in line with the new bearings and setting the torque this provides the correct end float other wise I can see any other way unless you can see some thing I have missed Regards Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffy Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 hi Westender.Thanks for that good old BSL are unable toget the bearings until later this week so the car is just sitting there looking sorry for it self but i let you no how i get on. regards Buffy Hi Westender Well i have replaced it its less noisy but the wine is still ,but the knock from the back lash has gone so its been worth while. As for the toque on the bearings i can see where land rover are but if you have slack bearings you cant measure it before you start.THANKYOU FOR YOURHELP regards Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
