thanks for reply if diff lock is not on when drive is taken up the rear prop does not turn at all only when dl is engaged does it rotate,,i am no mechanic and was wondering the best rout to go ,,eg refurb rear diff , just to get some idea whats required ,, thanksif you knock it out of diff lock and engage a gear get someone to see which prop spins that will show which axle , then look at drive members then half shafts then diff
thanks fellas,, as this is going to be a garage job any rough idea of cost in a worse case senario.if difflocks not engaged the prop going to the axle with a problem will spin,once you locate the axle remove drive members or hub caps see if splines have spun
thanks stevo, thats not as bad as i thought just hope the mechanic i use can sort it,,dont like bieng truckless.do it yourself if its shafts and members (snigger)
about £70 and 5 bolts per side to undo..... thats for 2 shafts and 2 drive flanges.
undo the 5 bolts on the flange, and the shaft just pulls out
So does that mean that the front prop is spinning? If it is then that means the issue is with the front and not the rear!thanks for reply if diff lock is not on when drive is taken up the rear prop does not turn at all only when dl is engaged does it rotate,,i am no mechanic and was wondering the best rout to go ,,eg refurb rear diff , just to get some idea whats required ,, thanks
