Chambo110 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Fellas bit of a problem. So I went to grease me nipples. Went for a drive to warm things up, but on return i noticed me rear diff filler was dripping. Got me spanner’s out to see if it just needed nipping up and guess where the filler plug is now 🤬🤬🤬🤬 so question is.. is it just a case of purchasing a new cover and plug, take off old re fit new then fill up again ?? And if so, what diff do I have? Can anyone tell from pic or is there numerous different types ?? thanks in advance you bunch of life savers 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Salisbury diff on a 110, drain it, there is a plug on under side, remove the rear cover, retrieve the fill/level plug, clean of any old gasket materials refit the cover with a new gasket/sealant, would be a good move to obtain one of the magnetic plug from Xcess 4x4 before fitting the drain plug & filling with fresh oil, the drain plug IIRC is the same as the fill/level plug. LR part 608246 Cover gasket is LR part RTC1139. Cover is RTC844, no idea of price or availability looks to be easily available, this one on ebay now https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-110-130-SALISBURY-NEW-REAR-AXLE-DIFF-PAN-COVER-RTC844-/121904364776&ved=2ahUKEwiesZW9lfbuAhVJURUIHb61BT8QjjgwCHoECAsQCg&usg=AOvVaw0c0Y_Dvf2RjOieJtlM6gQO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete3000 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) You'll be wanting to add your A frame balljoint to the list as well soon. Gaiter/ Shield is split. Buy the whole assembly with new unf bolts, less hassle than trying to badger the old balljoint out.

Chambo110 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Well that’s that diff ordered ✅ a frame ball joint ✅ superpro bushes ✅ dont hate me for the superpro ☺️ expensive nipple greasing day that turned out to be 😢 Edited February 19, 2021 by Chambo110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 My 110 has Superpro bushes all round, the ride & handling are fine. They are not affected by engine, gearbox or pas fluid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Mine has superpro also, obviously chock the vehicle and put into difflock, only do 1 component at a a time, i.e either end of the axle 1 at a time then the A frame after or vice versa. Otherwise the only things holding the axle from wandering off are the shocks and the brake pipe. 🙂 From memory the castellated nut is a 30mm, which should come undone with a decent 1/2 inch T bar or good sized ratchet handle.

Mike Cheers Mike, my hands already look like I’ve been shark feeding and the neighbours are well aware of my choice language.. I’m sure they think when I’m working under the truck i have an imaginary friend. just been googling the job.. as I’m doing the opposite end of A frame bushes aswell as the ball joint, can the whole thing be removed and work be done on bench? Seems to be a little discrepancy? Personally I cant see why not but I’d always refer back here first. I think I’m going to start a daily soaking of plusgas while waiting on delivery of parts. appreciate all the info as usual chaps 👍👍 Edited February 20, 2021 by Chambo110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Yes you could remove the whole thing and do it on a bench but as others have said chock wheels both axles and prop front off diff nose in position to stop it dropping regards Stephen Edited February 20, 2021 by Stellaghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete3000 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If you are doing the other ends as well you may need to borrow Mike's "special dictionary". The bolts will likely be seized in the bushes and the arms, ask me how i know. It's easier to undo the three nuts/bolts on the plate to chassis for each side once you've split the ball joint end apart then do each side on the bench. New nuts and bolts required in all positions, use 8.8 for the 4x M10x45mm and 2x M10x55mm (M10 nylocs and form c washers) and the 2x suspension bolts are UNF? 2x NY612042 and 2x BH612321 (nut and bolt) Make sure the head of the bolt goes in from the centre of the chassis, with the nut in the small space on the outside of the chassis. It sounds obvious but if you assemble on the bench and bolt it up you won't be able to draw the pivot bolt out. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambo110 Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Forgot to add 1 last question I promise am I correct in thinking I need ep90 ? done some Googling and people are on about hypoid etc ?? What’s that mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 If that rust, might be good to clean it off, looks to be OK otherwise, fresh oil & it should be fine for many more miles. Pretty sure my rear Salisbury diff cover has never been off & that's done in excess of 500,000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on that bit you can see aswell ?? still, at least your reply this time didn’t cost me more money 😂 is it just any ep90 to refill? .. I think I read 2.3L .. does that sound right ? thanks Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
