Excellent thanks for that.... Made me feel better lol and like wise I'll assume all the power in lo and hi are just going to the rear as there's no prop, so it's just going to spin the drum.
yup, you'd need to stick it in diff lock to go anywhere.
re the bolts, see when you took the drum off you had the circular thing with the bolts in it. that's the rear output flange. the bolt heads are either rounded off or the flange has worn where the bolts turn. They are held in place by a big circlip, hope you have large external circlip pliers..
You'll need to undo the 30mm nut and remove the flange to have a butchers.. but! that's the rear oil seal behind there.. the ones that leaks all the time. So you might as well renew the bugger and all the transfer box oil will start to **** on you, so drain it all out first.
Sorry, that lil bolt spinning is about to cause you a bit of work
Btw, you can buy lil flange kits which come with a new flange, seal, felt washer and metal shield, they are roughly 16quid.
When the props off, check the ujs and splines for play and grease it all up.
I jumped on the breaks and stopped it, tried to drive and nothing.. Not in low or high. So i put the diff on and it drove but in low or high it does nothing....
not sure what you mean there. If the rear prop is off and you aren't in diff lock then you won't be able to drive anywhere. If you are in diff lock then power should go to the front prop and you can drive. Be carful though, the handbrake drum is only held on by those 2 screws with the prop off. It could come off!
