1969109 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Im pulling my fairey overdrive and going back to original for a bit. One question that is not answered in any literature, green bible, land rover service manual..nothing Is When fitting the support plate.with bearing in it do you grease the roller bearing in the support, im 100% yes you do but with what? Standard LM? Molybdenum grease? EP90? can anyone advise or better still find some literature on what land rover standard practice is on this part. just one other thing, my mainshaft support (transfer case cover plate) is cast iron, some were aluminium is there and differences, do they all fit the same?

Gazzar Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 LM will do, it's going to be washed in EP so the two are compatible. Can't remember noting differences in PTO hole cover casings, cast iron/steel is correct, I think, so it should fit fine. The defender transfer box PTO cover is aluminium, iirc.

1969109 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Excellent, i am just waiting on a new genuine steel bearing from blanchards as the plastic cage one it has was a bit crusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Yep, just a little oil will do well enough as it is well lubricated by oil splashing in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
