How one removes the 3 bolt flange from an ex disco rear diff...


Recommended Posts

Been there done that....... under the truck, wish i'd removed the diff before i started......! i ended up swapping it in the end anyways as the flange i fitted can't have been right, well, something was wrong as it wouldn;t stop dumping oil,........... ho hum

Yeah, I replaced the oil seal when I finally got it off, new flange seemed to fit on and up quite nicely, I have had problems with some pinion seals before, i think there are a couple of different types (all do the same job) but some seem to work better. Play in the pinion bearing can exasabate that too.

I was a man on a mission!.. Darn, i thought I'd done my home work on this one too!
