I used a ratchet spanner with another spanner one the end and still nearly ended up with a hernia
Made sure I'd had a dump first
The other side ball was also removed, just didnt video it....
I removed the balls as the pax side top pin and bush was fecked, loads of movement.
Reminds me of doing mine just over two years ago. So much of it is similar, even down to the facial expressions. We've even got the same plastic dish to use as an oil drain pan cum parts tray. The only difference is that my CV joints were good enough to re-use and I merely hammered the spanner to get the swivel balls off rather than put two together. Well done - looks like a satisfying job. When it all goes back together with new parts it feels good knowing it's all nice ad tight and will last a good few more years.
Piece of cake J.....hence the move from the L322 to the 110.....life is simpler even though this is the 4th time something has been apart on her since I bought in the beginning of Feb....all due to lack of previous maintenance!!
1st was to sort out the loose crank bolt that caused excessive wear on the woodruff keys and the sprocket knocking the fuel timing out!
2nd was having to take the engine out to replace the rear core plug - while out I also did the clutch components and rear oil seal that was fitted the wrong way round!
3rd was the rear transfer box output flang nut coming loose and the flange falling off!
4th is the busted CV joint due to lack of grease/oil in the swivel housing.
Its all fun, and the cost of the parts for the above is still less than one front air strut on the L322....!!!
You cannot beat Defenders for value for money.
Crank bolts seem to be a recurring theme. Seems there's a bunch of Mr Muscle types out there with arms like knots in cotton trying to tighten them with 1/4" drive sets.

Impressive work, my mechanic skills are very basic indeed.
Dreading a failed cv needing replacement ever happening on my D1.
Just worried I'll put it back together wrong and break it even more lol.

Two or three of mine rounded and I ground the heads off, then worked on them as studs. Was a right pain.
Nice video, shows the job very clearly.
