swivel pin housing stub axle (I think :) ) The bit that the hub sits ontop of

In the first diagram you sent it shows FTC840. Incidentally, that's the same part number which was in the old stub axle. However, the tech support at paddock spares says to use FTC5268

It's a Defender 90, not a 110, does that make a difference

For clarification, it's part 20 on this diagram:

Hi guys, I know it's been asked before, and believe me I've searched and searched, but I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. On a 1996 300tdi Defender, which oil seal should you use inside the stub axle, between the stub axle bearings and the threaded end of the stub axle...

Much appreciated. Have ordered a replacement.

Hi guys, I'm in the process of replacing the swivel housing on a 1996 300tdi Defender (as well as half shafts, CV joints, Stub Axles etc in the process). I've just come to fit the race bearings in the swivel housing, and found that on one side of the swivel there is a lip which the race sits...

The Jig worked, although it took a long bar for added leverage in the jack, and a second person holding the jig. Need to get the new ball joint in now...

Not to worry, this answered my question:

Another question... Before I start trying to weld together some kind of jig, do you think an 8 ton bottle jack will be enough to remove the ball joint from the bracket? Just so that we're on the same page, I'm trying to press part 12 out of part 16:

Thanks guys. Following your advice, I ended up using a length of mild steel box section and a farm jack to apply the leverage. The back of the car was off the ground before there was enough pressure to hold it. All done now :)

Hi all, I posted a while back when I was about to buy my first Defender. I went ahead and bought it, it's a 1996 300tdi Defender 90 and have tinkered with it almost every day since. Today's job is the rear A Frame ball joint but it's proving to be a bit difficult. I've manage to free up most...

About to buy a 96 defender. 300 tdi. Looking underneath it's generally solid, but there's a lot of oil underneath. It looks to me like this is the drain hole for the gearbox oil and somebody has left it unplugged. Could somebody with experience please confirm...
