Mutley Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well just to up date you guys, today i set about the Land Rover (and if this job ever needs doing again, I'm guuna set about it with a very BIG hammer!). Basic job to most I'm guessing? But this is me we're talking about! so consider building/repairing NASA's space shuttle and you have some idea of the task that lay ahead of me.....To cut along story short I referred to the bible (Haynes) and quite a few posts off here and armed my self with the few tools that i have, (oh and the wife on standby to nip to various out lets) I proceeded to change the swivel joint seal!..... So some 5Hrs. later with 3 or 4 trips out by the misses, a large size swimming pool of sweat, 28.5pints of blood (ranging from mine, the wife's, the cocky post man and several small children playing in the street) the use of every swear word known to man many times over!!!.....I can safely say the job is DONE! With thanks to all that helped with their input and advice over the last few months while i waited for a few days off to be able to do this. If such a situation arises again you will find me spending my few days off Trekking to the North Pole in my shorts and a string vest as knowing what lies ahead with the Land Rover the latter would seem less of a challenge!

western Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 sounds like you've had loads of LR fun , go to the pinned top threads in the part number forum & you'l find links to parts book & LR workshop manual called RAVE, these are better than the haynes book.
