[90 Propshaft length]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the front propshaft length of a defender 90 running LT77 gearbox with the 230 transfer box??

I have been given a Decardan one from a 110 V8 running a lt85 with the 230 transfer and would like to know if i can fit it on??

I know i woudl need a new flange as it has a wider plate on it.

any help please??

thanks

[Should i???]

Hi all,

On my defender 90 i currently have the pro comp 2in lift kit but want more articulation on the axles.

Should i go for some tubular front shock lowering turrets with some dislocation cones or am i best sticking with what i have??

I have rear dislocation cones and am getting the rear shock lower top mounts, and them trailing and radius arms are one the list.

Any advice would be great.

many thanks

Tony is right!

If you break down the caliper and remove the other mounting bolt you can remove all the caliper bits from the axle, leaving only the sheared bolt. Now you will have access to both ends of the bolt which gives the option of drilling it out with a regular drill so it tries to wind itself into the hole and hopefully out the other side. You may be able to get a pair of mole grips or stilsons on the broken end which is even easier or lastly you could try an EZ out type tool - but all of these will be very easy if you follow TC's advice.

(Well done Tony - have a house point!)

Hey,

thanks for the replies, and the caliper isnt on the axle as the bolt snapped so i have as much room to get it out as possible.

Main problem being that my friend gave me the axle complete as he sanppoed the bolt, then snapped a stud extractors in it trying to get it out. This makes it even harder so it killing a few dril bits now.

I am going to have another go at it this weekend but the welding a rod or similar to it wont be easy as the bolt isn't poking out at all.

I think if all else fails i will just have to replace the axle housing.....

How would a commercial place sort it and what sort should i try???

many thaks

Hi,

I am new to here aswell as the land rover world and i have meet my first problem.

I have been given a disc braked rear axle to go on my Defender 90 but it has a snapped caliper bolt in it and i cant seem to find a way of getting it out.

Does anyone have any tips or shoudl i just get another axle??

It has come with new discs and perfect calipers as well as a good diff so i cant decide.

Any help please??
