  1. Many thanks Gazzar for the solecitude of your answer...my land is a SWB 88 inch wheelbase indeed. I agree with you that in your country spare parts are greatly cheaper than in mine (now I currently order spare parts from british dealers with full satisfaction). Infact sometimes I give a look to the "used parts" of the major land rover sellers but I've not seen these parts but may be in a future! Bye, Alessandro
  2. Hi, I'm Alessandro from Italy, I've just plagued you with my prop shaft oil seal replacement (and now is all going well in that front, luckily...) and now I have another question for you: If I want to convert in pick up my Series III (born in 1972) I have to look only for series II/III body parts (roof and back upon cellar) or also defender body parts fit well? Thanks in advance, Alessandro, Sanremo
  3. This afternoon, after a diff seal-free w.e. I finally succeed in removing this one. This seal was made of 3 circular crowns (1,2 and 3 in the picture I have just posted) with the 2nd and 3rd crown free to move. A very big and complex seal, nothing to compare with the new simple seal I'm going to fit in my diff. A last thing: I have not seen the washer 539745 that from Les' picture appears very thin. The only think I see now is a cylinder that protudes for less tha 1" from the bearing surface and that wraps around the pinion. The flange is stopped by this part or not? And, 'cause I've bought the washer 539745 too, I had to fit it or not and after, provided that I have no play in the bearings and that my diff is a rover one, can you suggest me the maximum load I can tighten the pinion? Bye! Alessandro
  4. Many thanks in advance to all of you that have given to me precious help and human comprehension... I'll keep you informed about the matter. Bie! Alessandro
  5. Ok guys, I'll keep going at it with hammer and screwdriver but the 3rd toric circle of the picture is the washer 539745 you see in Les' exploded view or it's another tin in the seal ? Bye Alessandro
  6. i spent two hours struggling againt the old seal, that is like this picture: As Tonk say, it maybe of metal and leather, but the problem is that I have found 3 toroidal circles. I have cutted with hammer and screwdriver the first circle and I've found rubber (and the metallic spring). After this one there are other 2 toroidal circles...I have to remove only the first two (that are the seal) and the third is the washer 539745 as I think or the old seal was so complicated as you can see in this other pic, where you can see the three circles numbered 1 (external) 2 (intemediate) 3 (inner)? Sorry for my question , but I have the fear to add damage to my lady landy... Many thanks in advance, Alessandro
  7. Many thanks Les, Now the only thing that I have to do is going to my landy and start swearing... I'll keep you informed Alessandro
  8. Thank you Les, my axle is a Rover one and I just have the correct replacement part (FRC4586). It may be a stupid question (and it is, but this is the first time that I try to replace a seal in a car) but while my new seal is totally rubber-skinned, the front of the old seal (that is in the dif again) seems to me (and it is ) metallic. Yesterday, when I removed the flange and I saw the old seal, remembering of the new seal I had at home, I preferred to ask for help instead of removing the part in the diff in a destructive way. Now I think that I had to remove the metallic part from the diff (the rubber part has gone away) . Can you suggest me the better way of doing this? Yesterday I tried for a little in a very polite way but with no result... Alessandro
  9. Hi, my name is Alessandro from Sanremo (Italy), owner of a 1972 series II-III and I'm trying to replace the differential pinion oil seal following the very good instructions I've read in this site (I have done the flange locker too). After a furious struggle finally I have succeeded in unlocking the flange centre nut, and now the only difference of my reality from the instruction is that my old rubber seal is inside a toroidal metallic body (I hope to have well explained the matter). My new seal hasn't it (infact it's equal to the instruction seal) , so what I have to do? I'll have to remove in a destructive-way the old metallic case from the axle casting and then press the new seal into the differential? Hoping to receive an answer, my best regards... Alessandro
