Just a quick query, what size are the 4 nuts which hold the rear propshaft to the handbrake drum? Mine have clearly been manhandled before and are a bit mullered, so having just had to fit a new handbrake cable I'd like to replace them too. Thanks.

Assuming that the bolts are genuine then:

I am just in the process of replacing mine and they were also mashed and spinning in the bell housing, I ordered a set of 4 from

https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/defender-rear-propshaft-nut-and-bolt-kit/

Does any one know what the torque setting is for the 30mm rear drive flange nut on the back of the transfer box is, cant find any reference to it in the WSM?

Ah ok so 3/8 UNF, yes, sorry, I've just found a full kit for this too here: https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/defender-rear-propshaft-nut-and-bolt-kit/

I would recommend getting the box of nuts rather than just the kit. The nuts should be replaced every time they are removed but the bolts last a lot longer.

Alos remeber that they are a 9/16 spanner not a 14mm as I have seen lots of people do. A 14mm with nicely round them off and is probably the reason they are in their current state.
