@johnlad Yeah i saw that in the haynes manual but i have no means to make anything like that :S

@CharlesY There is a special landrover tool you can get to counterhold the pulley but its ALOT of money for something ill only use once :S

@CharlesY so 4th gear is ok to use? how about a combination of the locking pin and 4th gear and brakes?

Thanks so much for advice so far guys

Are you going to be able to apply 460nm with a torque wrench?

If so, surely you can do it with a big bar too, maybe more?

We have a 3/4 drive set with the bar extended to about 6 feet, manages all the hub nuts and crank pulleys.

I know you want to do it right, but maybe it will be ok as a last option.

WHAT ABOUT book it into land rover, hour's labour might be cheaper than tooling up anyway???

thanks very much guys, got some guys with a big ass breaker bar to come help me tighten it in the mornin, gonna try the 4th gear brakes on option. I mean that should give some hefty torque and you guys have alot more exp than me... So ill do this and let you know how it went tommorow afternoon.. After though.. Im gonna pop down jcb and see what they have to offer in the way of torque, just so i know how much more to tighten it

Fingers crossed i dont break a gear tooth hey..

Atm i have no steel no drill and no drill bits :S

I know im an amatuer a complete one.. hence no tools to speak of except my 8 pound draper socket set and a pair of viscous fan removal wrenchs. Oh! also 2 screwdrivers, and a small claw hammer

I do have the haynes manual and also the rave cd, thats how i got this far lol :lol:
Thanks again very much for your advice and help I SO wish i had the bits to make that tool your going on about johnlad...
