Lt230 transfer box rebuild

[muddy4x4xfar]

Hi all.  So im looking to buy myself a Defender 110. I know they have a 1.4 ratio transfer box. Iv decided to put in a 1.2 transfer from my old discovery 200. Never rebuilt a transfer box before. I have read up and decided to give it a go. Just wondering as i am a novice at this. Is there anything everyone who has done this recommends?

im looking to put the limited slip diff from ash croft in and modify the casing for the cross pin. 

I know i will need to get a hydraulic press. Does anyone know what ton press is suitable for this sort of thing before i go buy? 

Any help and advice is always welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris, I've not done a transfer case but I managed a lt85 on a little ten ton hydraulic press with a hand pump we had at work, I never really used its full capacity, I think the most I saw was 3t on the gauge.

Workshop service manual was a good guide, and I didn't use any specialist tools, just made up drifts and collars out of bits and pieces and was carefull and methodical.

I have a 1.2 in my 110 and its well worth percivering to achive.

good luck
