Freelander IRD cooler exchange

3one6mp · Apr 3, 2014

Hi All, A bit of help needed.Jjust swapping my very tired IRD but need to swap the coolers as the pipes are damaged on the replacement, before I damage it can any one advise how to remove and re-fit the cooler. Thanks

Removal is destructive I believe. So you would need to fit a new one not just swap them.

Think of a paint can cover is the best explanation I have heard

You can buy them on ebay cheap. Sounds like its not a recon unit, so while you're at it I'd buy one of the packs that contains all the bearings for the IRD as well - cos you're likely to need them!

I know it's 18months after the last post to this thrread, but I'm doing the same job..
is it simply a case of prising the old unit out and pushing the new unit back in? - I have the new bearing kit too.
do i need to lube the rubber seal on the new IRD Cooler then push in like a paint can lid???

As above levers out like a paint tin lid if it's the same as the ird's I've taken apart. See pic's in this fred:
