Found the torque value for the front and rear transfer box flange nuts to be around 140-160Nm. Seems to be restrict the rotation of the flange a fair bit. I'm considering that it's cold, I've fitted new bearings to both sides and not refilled the transfer box fluid yet but still seems to be harder to turn by hand than I'd expect. If I back it off, it turns easily and there's no discernible play. Just wanted some reassurance that the torque value is correct before I refit the propshafts and handbrake drum! Cheers.
 
According to Winchester and Ascrofts it should be 162Nm.
Good quality bearings or bearings with no name?
Wonder if over the years different torque settings were quoted?
Just checked I used 162Nm on the tdi.

That's according to the LT230T(or Q) overhaul manual while there is no dedicated manual for the LT230SE fitted to D2 which has certain mods so maybe those who edited the figures in RAVE knew more... or not

what's in the second attachment is similar for both front and rear in the wsm, i'd definitely go for 148 raather than 162 on the D2

Bit of an update. Seems something is definitely wrong. Even if I nip the front output flange up so the nylon is engaged, it locks the box up. To make matters worse, the cheap seal on the rear output is leaking now I've filled the box. The front bearing was bad and the rear seal was leaking originally so I've done all the work for nothing!
Ordered some better quality seals and SKF bearings, will strip it out and try again.
Thanks for everyone's advice, I'll report back at a later date....
 
Hopefully it will go better next time.
Pointless buying cheap parts, even decent seals, Corteco, aren't expensive, quite often I buy two incase I **** it up or as a spare for next time.

I normally buy semi decent parts but just ordered stuff in a hurry this time and regretting it now! Especially considering the amount of work it took, massive waste of time...haha

I changed the flange when I did mine, it's cheap enough.

I bought new flanges for mine too in case they were shagged. I did wonder if the front one might be slightly different and causing my issues but comparing the new with the old, they are identical so I'll keep using the new one when I do it all again!
