L19MUD Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi Everyone, I need to swap either the axle casing or whole axle on the rear of my 90 as the casing is bent. It is a 200tdi with disc brakes and as far as I am aware it is standard (it is a late 200tdi so believe the discs are correct) Will Disco 300tdi axles bolt straight on? Or would a 300tdi Disco casing swap over? Disco rear axles are cheap and plentiful! Not the sort of job I want to start and then find something does not fit!

Reiny Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 disco 300 case should swap straight over. if you want to use a complete disco 300 axle, you'll need to change the propshaft drive flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Excellent thanks Sounds like it will be a nice simple job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiny Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 it shouldn't be difficult. last time i did the job, it took a total of 6 hours (removing axle from vehicle, stripping it down, rebuilding on the new case and refitting, bleeding brakes, etc).

Boris113 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A late 200tdi should be fine, the bolts will be metric as will the 300tdi replacement casing. Some early 200tdi units had imperial fixings, they are identified by having imperial 6 point calliper bolts rather than the later 12 point metric versions. You can still do the swap from an imperial axle to a metric. IIRC all that is required is the later 12 point calliper bolts and a friendly engineer to enlarge the bolt holes on the earlier callipers. A slide hammer may be required to remove the centre from the 300 diff pinion to enable access to the main flange nut. Your 200tdi flange should bolt on.

L19MUD Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Excellent. Thank you for the info I know mine has the 12 point caliper bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
