hi there everyone,
I'm having some differential problems with my 200tdi discovery. the front diff suddenly started making a strange clunking noise one afternoon and continued all the way home every time i accelerated past 2nd gear. iv since removed the diff to find the cross shaft between the inner spider gears broken.
the shaft is only broken about an inch from the end and the gears are still held in place. iv removed the small circlips in order to extract the shaft for replacement but i cant seem to get it out and im a little worried about bashing it with a hammer too hard in case i break something else.
am i doing this wrong? is there a way the pin needs to be lined up to come out or do i just hammer away?
advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks
