no he ground the old one of completely, but the one i bought sees to be a lot more heavy duty so it looks bigger on the axle
Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
Yeah it's a specialist HD pan, there's a link on here somewhere.
Very nice pan actually, shame he buggered it up.
I would be more worried about the mess you've got welded to your axle than how much oil your gonna put in it, so I'm gonna recommend rewelding it properly as a priority.
And then at least the oil will be right, the crown wheel will be protected, and anyone following you will have no reason to think you're a novice.
Cheers, Sam

Tried one of them syringe things before and wasn't really impressed with it... had to keep gettin' out from under the bus tae fill it whendoin' gearbox. So ah got one o' these instead...
Just need to fill it, pump it up, lock the trigger and sit back while it fills the gearbox

Aye ah know... blame Trewey 'cos he started it
In true landyzone fashion... ye've had yer answers on how to fix it, now things start goin' off topic (kinda)

Oh, and rather tryin' tae fill it through the breather pipe (as somebody mentioned), ye could undo the braether banjo bolt and try fillin' it through that instead.
Maybe summit like the pumps would fit in the hole

Just changed my axle oil. Measured oil came out: front - 3 litre, rear 2.5litre.
Refilled through filler hole (mid way on diff pan) till it's about to spill. 2.5litre each.
Question: would the extra oil caused trouble? eg. too much pressure build up?
Breather has also been blown through and cleared.

The extra in the front might've come from yer swivels kingy... or ye might've taken in some water.
If yer breather pipe was blocked then ye might've damaged yer seals with the pressure build up.

If ye look in the first photie ye posted... it's right at the edge of the photie on the left hand side. It's the thicker black pipe just above yer brake pipe and is bolted to the top of yer axle

Coming in your ears.
i just fully rebuilt both front swivels, with a rebuild kit.
was a very satisfying job to do
bit of paint here, bit of new shiny bit there, and a lovely bit of preload EVERYWHERE!!
Tee hee
