sweety Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi guy's need some help One of the double UJ's on my front prop has had it so am going to replace both of them but was wondering how you remove them. Is it a case of removing the circlip & then tapping out the bearings with a punch & hammer ? Also wheres the cheapest & best place to get new UJ's from as i've never had to do this before & am a bit unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappers606 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You can try this site http://www.discovery2.co.uk/ It's my mates, but it seems to be quite highly regarded by those that use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Take the thread title, preferrably spelled right, and put it in a google search field (discovery 2 front prop shaft uj replacement). First link google returns will point you to a forum member's website. See if it's of any use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweety Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks will do just need to find where to get them oh does the centre bearing have to be changed at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveA Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What do you mean by "centre bearing"? While the prop is off, I would change all UJ's as they cost very little. The centre sliding spline cannot really be replaced, but should be ok with some grease in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I assume he is referring to the bit in the double cardon joint. I was thinking of ordering a purpose built one from the states by a propshaft shop. Approx $300. Lots of D2 owners are choosing them over standard bits as the feel they are weak. Also all UJs are greasible. Expensive but then so is the standard LR one and this one would be bulletproof? Just waiting for my lottery windwall to come through the post! Cheers.

sweety Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I assume he is referring to the bit in the double cardon joint. Yes thats what I was on about Well have left the bearing for the min but cleaned it out & packed it with new grease but will prob replace it at a later date. Fitted the new spiders & will get the prop fitted tomorrow as it's to dark & cold now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
