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

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 got it apart the front end bearing and oil seal US rear bearing OK but will replace the lot from BSL at a cost of £30.00 the only thing they do not make the purpose made oil seal any more and have to put up with a double lipped seal but the same size. 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

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

HI Westender Your 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

Can any one help Regards chris

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

Hi I have had a 2002 V6 for about 14 months it depends how you drive it .You get low MPG if you race it around in sports mode .But if you drive sensible you could be very surprised .i got 1 with some toys which make it enjoyable .Yes it has been in the gauge for engine management faults .but also I have been able to rectify faults in using this disscusion hub.I used to drive a Disco diesel and it use a high level of fuel so I am happy with my V6 freelander chris
