I could do that....but the bolts are in there and don't come out!
I'm gonna take it to the local LR mechanic tomorrow where i should have taken it in the first place and see if he can do it......
 
i cant see what problem you are having, i have never had any problem with doing the flange bolt up, i take it you mean the large lock nut. god knows how many i have changed now, and normally i just hold the flange with my hand whilst ratcheting up, once it stops its tight, no need to swing off. send you private message
 
I can see the problem he's having - assuming it's the same procedure as for the P38 then the nut needs to be torqued up. You can't do that while holding it by hand...? RAVE quotes 162 ft/lbs so you'd need a pretty strong hand! (it also says to replace with a new nut).

I'm thinking of doing this myself on my P38 if I can find the pennies for a new VC. What sealant is one supposed to use around the VCU housing face? Rave just says 'sealant'.

And does the oil seal automatically need replacing?

Silicone. Put the bolts in with nuts on and put a flat bar through a couple to tighten flange nut.

i generally use a high temperature sealer,you dont need that much round it, just a smear. not sure about that torque setting, but i have never had a problem with one coming loose, and have always used the old nut with a bit of lock tight.

2 oil seals? There's only 1 surely? And according to Rave, that needs a special bleedin tool to fit as well!

Outputshaft bearing, output shaft flange oil seal. Measure depth of oil seal before removing. Check flange for wear steps, if none put oil seal back in to same depth with hardwood drift. If any evident. Make the drift out of hard wood with a step on it 2mm deeper than oil seal intrusion that was removed and slowly and evenly drift oil seal into to that depth.

Wot, as in ordinary silicon (bathroom?) sealant from a DIY shop? Apologies if this seems like a daft question...

no , go to a good car parts shop and get a high temp sealant, but we are talking a bit cross purpose here the original start of this was for a classic not a nightmare 38, i dont know if they are the same, and as Bob says ram a long bar through it and do it up if you are having trouble.

hope you get problems sorted, i am off on my safari holiday so not going to be able to offer much more advice on this, unless you bring it to south africa.
