Dorsetfreelander Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 If you do, don't forget to tell your insurance company as this constitutes a vehicle modification and you could invalidate your insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ertin Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If the crown wheel is chewed, surely you will have lost the drive to the front wheels?(If the crown wheel is faulty, it is only the rear drive keeping it going!!!). Do you mean the bevel gears on the output shaft which takes the drive to the rear wheels? Just a thought. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crownwheel on the final drive supplies drive to the one front wheel and the IRD box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
