CaMpylobacter Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Gidday, Just going through my wagon - factory 2600cc 109, has an ENV diff. I've had an issue which stems from the axle breather being blocked in the past - weeping hub seals. Have dismantled hubs and found that the wheel bearings don't seem to have any grease in them. Am I meant to pack these with grease or just let it run in sloshed oil from the diff? only thing that stops this oil getting to the wheel bearings is the spline/axle itself. Doesn't seem to be a felt seal against the circlip like front diffs have under the axle nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I take it you must have a '1 ton' model with those diffs. I have no specific knowledge of these units, but it would seem good sense to grease the bearings on assembly. If the axle oil has indeed sloshed around that much it's probably washed any original grease away. IIRC regular series axles had nothing to keep oil away from the wheel bearings.

daslandroverman Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The ENV rear was the Heavy Duty spec rear axle from around 1963 through to the switch to Salisbury axles as standard fit on the rear of LWB models about 1972. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 ENV went on some of the late forward controls, I'm pretty sure? Front and rear that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslandroverman Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 They were standard fit on the back of the IIA from midway through suffix A chassis numbers (early 1963 I think) with a front one becoming standard fit from Suffix D (mid 1964) to the introduction of the IIB which had them front and rear until 1972, whilst later CKD vehicles (generally assembled in South Africa) had Salisbury axles, the last being put together in 1976.

CaMpylobacter Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 choice. never really seen one before mine to be honest. even the old boy I kick round a bit with that was RNZAF in the 60s hadn't seen one that wasn't on a 101!
