Hi chaps,

I am new to Landyzone, though I saw you all at Stanford Hall recently!
Just asking this on behalf of my son, who has limited access to a computer.

He lives in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
He's rebuilt quite a lot on his Landy and had it since he started driving at 17 (he's 20 now!) He's mad on Landys' and green lane-ing!
However he needs to sort his steering, but needs the proper tool to do the job.
Apparantly, A Steering, Dropped Link Puller??? He has a a P reg Defender 90, dont know if that makes any difference? He's tried doing it without it, but not happy with the end result.

So if anyone in the Marlborough, Wiltshire area, could lend him this tool, he would be very grateful. He would love to get involved with meeting up with other Landy enthusiasts and going off roading!
Thanks for reading,
Suzig.

A big rigid puller, sized for the drop arm is good, but they are hard to find, you will always need a bit of technique to get it off, plenty of hammering down through the top with a big drift and hammer. Or cut it off carefully and get another arm complete, thay are not dear.

If he has done the job in situ and is not happy, maybe he has used a cheap drop arm kit, some of them are such poor quality they don't work.
We recently put a cheapie on a friends def., and we ended up throwing it away and getting a genuine one!
