Sharp Pointy Thing Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Morning Mines an 86 with 10 spline rover diffs and the one I've seen is a Disco 200TDi 10 spline rover. So is this possible as it could well save me a lot of money? Cheers Sharpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yup, as long as they've both got the same number of splines, they'll swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Any diff will fit any axle among the following 110 front 90 front & rear Discovery Tdi front & rear Discovery 2 front & rear as long as the splines are right i.e. 10 or 24. The diffs have subtle differences in the way they go together but as long as you swap it as a complete unit then they will go in, the only bit you will have to change is the propshaft flange if it is wrong i.e. 3 bolt flange for a Rotoflex coupling on the Discoverys, or 4 bolt for a conventional prop, but they are easy to swap too.

Sharp Pointy Thing Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Cool thanks guys, Disco diff it is then! Is changing this (front) diff going to be as bad as I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 more work than the back, in that you've got to (re)move the front half shafts somehow, either by pulling the whole swivel off in one, or dismantling it to get the CV and shaft out.

GBMUD Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yup. Beware though that the swivel will try to rotate once unbolted and will try to hang on the brake pipes. Try to avoid this by using a rope tied round the spring in such a way as to prevent the swivel stressing the brake pipe. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 ... Either that or unbolt the calliper and steering arms completely, and remove the swivel and shaft and use it as a opportunity to change your swivel oil seals as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When taking the swivel off like this can you get to the seal between the axle/diff and swivel/hub? i.e. keeping the EP90 out of my grease ....which it doesn't do at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
