Greetings!
My pride and joy has been making squealing noises when turning and changing gear. I am certain it is the swivel joint making the noise, and oil has been leaking from that swivel joint all-over the driveway (not that it makes much difference to the drive anyway lol).

Anyhow to get to the swivel housing, i need to remove the stub-axle. Problem is the stub axle is stuck on the housing. I have removed the locking plate and the bolts, but the damn thing wont shift. I tried lightly chiselling at the seal, to no avail. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? Its a 1991 Defender 110.

ps i have read on this site: Teflon's Torque - Workshop - Hubs Inspection, Maintenance & Overhaul - A Step By Step Guide that it is only the gasket holding the stub axle on.

Cheers :D
 
Yup, circlips are off. I think that heat will be my next course of action, hopefully it has not rusted together. Would i be able to turn the stub while removing, would that help? Or is it strictly kept straight, while removing?
 
haha... hammer it off :D

back to your original point. are you sure its the swivels squeaking? checked/greased your UJ's on your props? most landy swivels leak anyway. try filling with one shot grease 1st before overhaul.

anyway, up to you.
