Baldewin Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I've been told by a vendor here in the US that the 24 spline half shafts on the exmod were heavy duty. Is there any truth to this rumor? While were on the subject is there any truth to the rumor that the cv joints are also Heavy duty type or at least the same as the ones on the 110?

Guest diesel_jim Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Some military 90's were fitted with the 4 pinion HD diff, along with HD rear 24 spline shafts (in the rear axle). these are the same diff's and shafts as fitted to the V8 90 pull a shaft out and see if it's 24 spline. however.... someone may have changed the rear diff to a later (like ex disco or 300Tdi defender) rear diff, which were 24 spline (but not 4 pinion HD) and used standard (later) 24 spline non HD shafts. so the best bet is to remove the rear diff completly and have a quick look at it. if the diff is all "enclosed" (looking like an ARB locking diff) then it's 4 pinion HD. if you can see all the planet and sun gears, then 'tis is a weedy 2 pinion. front CV joints were the same on civlian and military rovers. most had the stronger 23spline AEU2522 type, later defenders that had disc braked rear axles would have had the later weaker 32 spline CV's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldewin Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 So, what your saying is the millitary calls them HD but in reality they are no differn't than standard V-8 axles and if I wan't true HD axles I would need to get them from an Ashcroft or Maxdrive type place.

Baldewin Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks Jim How about the front axle half shafts. Is there any way to tell if they are 10 or 24 spline without removing them? I definitly have 24hd axles in the rear with the 4 pin diff. The truck is an exmod and the front axle number is 23Lo6565B. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldewin Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Would anyone know if the front shafts are 24 spline based on the following? The truck is an exmod, has 24 spline HD half shafts in the rear and has/had a 4 pin diff. The axle number on the front is 23L06565B. I know I can pull the front end open and look but would rather not at this time. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just a thought if this has not yet been answered. Has the 90/110 front axle got a filler in the dif pan like a series front, cos on my 2a front axle you could see the diff thro the filler hole well enough to see if it was a 2 pin or 4 pin unit.

I am able to look inside and it is a 2 pin differential.Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 2 pin diff so it could be either then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldewin Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 2 pin diff so it could be either then. That's a given! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
