henry Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi All Having lost drive to my land rover I have discovered that I have a broken half shaft, the front drivers side. I have remove the half shaft and CV, but still have a large section of the half shaft still in the diff I suspect. I drained the diff oil hoping that the pieces would fall out, but they did not. What is the best way to remove the rest of the half shaft that is left in? I should also ask what do I need to purchase in the way of gaskets/seals and oil in order to put the assembly back together?

LandyManLuke Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 You could try an X shaft or failing that, pull the other half shaft so you can either push the stuck bit out from the other side or get the diff out and fish the bits out of it.

henry Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thank you LandManLuke. I pushed it out from the other side. Bit of a pain to get out, but should be back together very soon. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I pulled mine out with a magnet on a stick like the X-Shaft but I think I was lucky it hadn't got jammed in there. I checked all the bits to make sure nothing had gone MIA and was waiting to go into the diff, I know fomr experience that debris will get pulled up by the oil at higher speeds when it can do it's very worst. Removing the diff is of course the only 100% solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
