Finn Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi guys, my lt95 gearbox (not installed to a vehicle) has a 5mm play in the handbrake drum. Is this normal? If not, can I easily fix this? Cheers, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 in other words; I can move the handbrake drum about 5 mm up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Your rear output bearing has likely gone in the transfer box. Can be replaced with relative ease I think, might even be a write up in the tech archive. There's one somewhere though, as I've read it! Unless of course the drum/prop is loose on the flange, but I'd have thought that was fairly obvious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 'Unless of course the drum/prop is loose on the flange, but I'd have thought that was fairly obvious... ' That would mean that the centred front nut (the large one) is loose? (that is not the case). I still haven't opened it yet, as I need a second man to counter the flange on the front.

Retroanaconda Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The nut could be loose, or the nuts holding the prop to the flange (through the drum). They would be obvious though. Jam the brakes on with a bit of wood etc. and put it in diff-lock. Then the flange will hold for you to undo the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 the gearbox is not in the vehicle at the moment. There are 4 bolts coming out at the back of the drumbrake. These should hold the propshaft (shaft is not connected) and the nuts are missing. Is it in this case normal to have play?

Retroanaconda Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 In that case no, there shouldn't be a large amount of play like you describe. I believe the rear output bearing is a taper roller, so there shouldn't be any play at all. Check the big nut is tight (you'll need someone to brace against as you say), and if so then it's the rear bearing most likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ok.. I have found the write up in the tech. archive. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=6917&st=0&p=71088&hl=+output%20+bearing%20+transfer%20+box&fromsearch=1entry71088 Can someone tell what partnr. this overhaul set is?

Finn Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I did a bit of research on the web, but couldn't find a lt230 overhaul set for the rear output bearing / oil seal and gaskets. Only very expensive overhaul sets for the whole transfer box. Cheers, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I changed the outer bearing and seal today (not pictured).. But I think there is still play on it. Haven't build it together yet. Because I can move the whole inside (see picture) up and down.. Is this normal at this stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Ok, I have put everything back together and there is still a bit of play on the handbrakedrum. Not as much as it had, but still a couple of mm. What would be the next thing to ckeck? Or is it normal to have a bit of play? Thanks, Finn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
