They look like the thicker ones to me. Did you go in to a frenzy with a lump hammer?

Yes thought they would just tap straight off like the front ones did, had a cup of tea to calm myself down then started again, and went a bit mad after hitting my hand with the hammerThey look like the thicker ones to me. Did you go in to a frenzy with a lump hammer?
Anyway will have to take my time getting them off the 90 axle, its been outside for the last couple of years so will be rusted up.

Most axles tend to live outside anyway! Did you see evidence of a wafer this gasket when they came off?Yes thought they would just tap straight off like the front ones did, had a cup of tea to calm myself down then started again, and went a bit mad after hitting my hand with the hammer

I wonder if those ones had been put on with some sort of sealant then?

A lot of folk, me included, change these regularly anyway since they seem to wear very quickly. I did, on my last truck, change them for the fancy HD type but although they don't wear as quickly they are probably transferring the point of failure somewhere more expensive, so I don't use them now.
That is exactly what I do. And I came to the same conclusion about the HD ones. Standard ones are very cheap and quick to replace. But most importantly are known To be the weakest point that wears first. I don’t want that weak point to move changing the point of wear to a more expensive component like the diff!

Yes they are cheap enough to buy, might as well get new ones, save the hassle of stripping the other ones off.
By the way Al 203 you were right they were covered in some kind of gasket seal, no wonder they took some getting off.

If they are put on with the proper gaskets (which cost pennies) they come off no bother. Remember the bolts need threadlock on them when you put them back on.

I always make sure I have plenty of Loc-tite on board before I attempt a long journey. Land Rovers are very good at rattling things loose otherwise and you never know when you might need a tighten-up.
