Nigelw Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 A long time ago now I swapped out the old 10 spline for 24, now I am ever closer to getting this thing on the road to a safety test I have to sort out one or two lingering problems I had forgotten about. Whilst laying under it welding I just happened to glance at the back of the front diff, and noticed the nuts to have thread showing inside them, initial panic subsiding and remembering that the studs were too short but needing to be mobile again so it could be put back outside it had to be put back together and I kind of forgot until tonight. Now, how do they fit? Can I replace them easily with longer ones? Can I even get new ones to replace them with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Got my longer studs from main dealer. Old studs just knock out with a hammer. New ones just pushed in and pulled up tight when nuts done up. Studs are splined so will not turn as you do the nylocks up. Hope that helps.

ejparrott Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 IIRC they are a drive fit from the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 How old is the axle? series 1 & 2 were set bolts screwed in from inside and a locking wire thro the bolt heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Its a discovery. They are pulled in through the hole with a nut and some washers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Super, now armed with a part number I will go straight to the main dealers for the studs, paddocks are €0.50 per stud so shouldn't be overly expensive me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Got my diff studs the long ones are part No. 561196 and I got 6, need 4 but thought it good to buy spares just in case and 12 new nylon nuts sum cost of buying genuine studs and nuts 30!!! Not cheap but better safe than sorry when I pull it all apart again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 30 Euro ? Incidentally are the nuts a 14mm spanner or 9/16AF ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 They'll be 9/16 as they're the same as the prop nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
