You will like this one,It was a series axle so had the nut on the end to which a bracket was fitted. Chained other side of axle to a shed stanchion and then with wire rope to the bracket pulled it out with a tractor.
That is the way,, have at it.. the farm navara is on the ramp today, i drove it last week, commented the brakes were soft and spongey.
Fluid all over a rear shoe, so wheel cylinder was the thought, closer inspection it is half shaft seal.
Apparently the easiest route is new shaft bearing etc complete if not it involves shims and all sorts of malarky
So price for said kit
£480 + VAT
long term back order
8 -12 from Japan.
Should have bought a landrover.
They think they are going to rip it out and try and find a seal..
Can see the ramp being occupied for some weeks...especially if they b#gg#r the shaft
Got a 110 defender to rip the engine out of at weekend..
Don't they know the ramp is land rover parking only
Back to the OP
Well done @Cudhamdave
are you sure it is diff related could be anyone of the transmission components or tehir mountings..
AFter all it is a landrover ...they all makes some odd noises...

Could be one of several things, or several of them adding up to enough slack to make a noise.
Look for wear in the drive members themselves, look for wear in the A frame and rear suspension bushes, it could even be the clutch itself.
But it is always worth diagnosing the problem, rather than assuming it is the diff, and then finding out you have not cured the problem.
Try turning the propshaft with your hand, see how much backlash there is in the diff.
if all else fails get a mate or someone to lay next to landy as you lift clutch and drive away slowly etc, at least you should have an idea if it is front middle or back

Might not be a bad idea, so long as you don't run over them!
Wear on the hub drive members is quite common on vehicles that age.

If as you say the shafts have a twist at the diff end and some burring I would change them.
I checked my 90's ones the other day, 30 years old and hardly any wear and straight. She has done a lot of work including much towing but as I have had it most of that time it has had regular oil changes. Something many do not get when it comes to transmission items.
