Ruurd Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 All, Can anyone point me to a replace-my-defender-110-rear-halfshaft photo tutorial please? TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It is basically undo five bolts holding the drive flange, pull it off and the half shaft will come with it. Remove circlip and clean off old drive flange/member gasket. Refitting is as they say is the reverse of removal. It's easier with steel wheels as you don't have to remove them, alloys need removing.

It is as simple as that. There are two halfshafts for a Defender 110. Disc braked ones and drum braked models. The drum braked one is about 3/ 8" longer.

Ruurd Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 OK thank you but I need to specify a bit further,,, how do I replace a halfshaft that is probably stripped or heaven forbid broken... How to get the debris out in case the trouble is on the wheel side and how to get it out if a piece is left in the diff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'd imagine it will have stripped the driver member splines in which case no more than the above need be done. If it has stripped the diff end of the shaft or snapped it you are at a guess looking at removing the diff cover. There is also a tool available that is a strong magnet on a telescopic pole meant to retrieve the broken part of the shaft without stripping the diff, obviously this leaves some shrapenel in the diff which should hopefully come out with an oil change. Pull the shafts first and see what has happened, by the sounds of it your 110 isn't going anywhere at the moment so a little investigation would do no harm.

mmgemini Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 NORMALLY. Normally the splines in the flange go first as they are designed to. Check the RIGHT side first..... When you come to replace everything. Grease the gasket. Clean the bolts of all the stickty stuff. Make sure that the bolt holes are clean right down to the bottom. Put some thread sealant on the threads. Only the threads. Not over the end. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
