Coatsie Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I've put this here because I believe I have Disco axles on my Defender 90? I took the rear half shaft out to tighten up the hub because it failed the MOT on "excessive play" I tightened up the two big bolts but now the shaft won't go any further than this; Is there a trick to it? thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 yes. on the long side particularly its quite hard to line the end of the shaft up with the hole in the diff. you need to push it in completely level and do it by feel. 1mm out at the diff end and it wont go in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatsie Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Thanks! A bit of wiggling and some downward pressure and it went right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
