stealthmarine Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi Hope someone can help, I bought some new (used ) 245 tyres and discovery wheels off ebay, as I got stuck in dry sand launching my boat, anyway on full lock they catch on the chassis at the rear of the tyre, I am sure I read somewhere that you can adjust the lock stops to prevent this fouling, anyone know how to do it and where the lock stop is. cheers john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Jack the front end off the ground, turn the steering on full lock in one direction, then unscrew the lockstop until the rear edge of the opposite tyre is not less than 3/4" from the chassis rail. Turn the steering the opposite way, then adjust the stop on the opposite side until the wheel on the opposite side is the same distance away from the chassis rail. Lock stop is a large 19mm head M12 bolt/locking nut on each swivel housing. - Disco front hub picture, but it's pretty-much the same thing. Big bolt at the top of the picture. Les.

Retroanaconda Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Careful you don't shear the head off it, like I did to one of mine. Must really get around to replacing that some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 3/4" .... is that what it's supposed to be I'm trying to make the best of my bad lock and am working on about 1/4" .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 If you adjust it to 3/4" with the wheels off the ground - then when you lower the vehicle back down, the gap reduces to about 1/4" - 1/2". Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
