    Disco 2 driver side track rod ball joint part number and replacement

    I need rear long arm TRE assembly, from ebay photos, it is hard to tell front TRE from rear one. Sellers usually don't give demension, I measured my rear long arm one including ball joints is around 1.32m. I found QHG000040 Delphi is 0.98 m. TIQ000010 looks more fitting. But no length/height info.

    Do you mean thread pitches are different? I tested my TRE ball joints (original LR parts), each nut fits both ball joints. I measured both are 1.25mm (5mm for 4 pitches), but knuckle ball joints are 1.5mm (6mm for 4 pitches). How about this after-market https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144594619578?

    Disco 2 driver side track rod ball joint part number and replacement

    I removed both rod ends by 18 mm socket. What size is different from 18 mm? Replacing assembly is much easier than a TRE ball joint, it saves me time and effort for your info.

    Disco 2 low ball joint split covers for MOT

    To get more access to the caliper bolts on passenger side by turning the steering wheel to the most right, I found the steering was moving when undoing the bolts. I disconnected the driver side rod track. I thought power steering won't move, is there a way to prevent steering from moving?

    Good idea! When I separated the knuckle, it was hard to loose its lower part. I tried to heat it up, then cool down with cold water immediately, metal expansion and contraction can help.

    I knocked out it. I am trying to push up the upper ball joint with steel pipe by Jack and heat up it at the same time. I suppose 500kg on it, but nothing happened. I am expecting the tool, I wonder if the tool can challenge it.

    Finally I need to detach knuckle from axle, after I undid lower ball joint nut, I saw a hex on knuckle, do I have to unscrew this, or it is part of the knuckle? See picture. Can someone recommend tools to move out the knuckle and the both ball joints, it seems I don’t need to detach the ball...

    I saw this link http://www.discovery2.co.uk/brakes.html mentioned front caliper bolt size is 19mm 12-point, but when I tried it, it seems a bit small, I have 2004 landy, should it be 21mm or AF size for the latest td5?
