Hi just about to change the axle oils on my defender,
Is it ep80/90 GL4 for the axles and transfer box?also how much read somewhere that the gl5 is no good as it rots brass?
also what oil for the gearbox?
cheers
Changed bushes last year, but my old axle has given up, Drum brakes need doing, so just sourced a discovery axle, which has everything removed just need to remove my old axle but wondering what size sockets i need, and what spanner/socket for a bar etc cheers
Also its got polybushes on it atm
Evening all,
What tools do you need to change an axle?
What size sockets?
Spanner?
Easiest way to remove/ refit?
Is it just a bolt on the diff flange to change it?
Cheers
has it got the defender temperature sender in? or has it still got the discovery as im pretty sure that i read some where that they have different senders?
Hi, i have a 90 (1989) got replacement discs for it, but my calipers are in need of replacement, i recently changed a 300tdi with solid discs and they are the same size (disc) so could i put 300tdi calipers on it as they have bigger pads, so would that give me more braking power, also do they fit straight on? also is there any negative effects cheers
Vosa wasnt happy when i had mine straight through 200tdi disco block in a 90, but mine had a big k n N airfilter on it, made me put a silencer in it,and take it for a mot..
When i first got mine, it had loads of bread crumbs and loads of pens in it and loads of 1 and 2 pennys, and carpet.. needed a bulkhead, outriggers, it had already had a rear crossmember,, was a bargin but took me a while to find it.
not a dreamer, depends how good you want it to be, and if you want to do work on it, its just time looking and going to check them out. What 90 you looking for? pickup/Hard-top/soft-top/county..?
