Well my steering wheel still refuses to budge. I've smacked the nut with a hammer. I've wobbled every bit of the wheel, I've yanked the wheel so much it feels like it's gona snap at the top. I've took a pic of the middle bit and can't even tell where it comes apart :/ In other news I drove...

There doesnt seem to be those holes at the side for one of those pullers. Ill have a go at smacking the nut though, although its only me able to have a go. Actually my dog is trainable, i could attach her rope toy to the wheel and she can pull that whilst I hammer the nut :D

Well I've tried for 2 days and the wheel ain't coming off. Bought a rubber mallet especially for the job. Ah well. Turned my Attention to the rear sliding windows as they seem to have a meadow growing out the rails. Cleaned them up and got one window open but not the other. Can I spray...

Thanks. I had thought I wonder if I could put a spacer on the spare tyre holder so will look at that and the swing away wheel carrier. I didn't get time to change and straighten the wheel last night but will have a go this afternoon. Glad I didnt as none of the guides i had seen online...

Thanks thats great info! :) I think some of those jobs are defo out of my league at the moment. Especially as I have real trouble getting nuts/bolts off. If the mechanic agrees that the range rover classic axles are ok to stay on it that should save alot of money for a start off! Ill take...

I only could get my torque wrench on it as I dont have jackstands or a proper way of getting under it. I am hoping the garage has sorted that side. He never mentioned it as such but i asked him did he see the stoved in bolts and he said yes. Ill be able to check tonight when I pick it up.

Well Landy has been to the garage. No report of it being a ringer or cut and shut so that's good. but that's about the only good news. Front and Rear Axles he thinks are from a Range Rover classic and not a defender. and due to that the shocks face the wrong way (i think he said) Rear hub seal...

:eek: is there a h & s list anywhere of what not to do. I nearly belted myself when I took off wrong end of grease gun as well. I had no idea they had a strong spring in them. As for landy, I got propshaft on finally. But unfortunately the nuts on 2 of the captive bolts that were a bit...

Took that side apart and redid it. Couldn't get it to a way that both ends had enough room on the clips. Unlike the other 3 axis. Did best I could and it's slightly looser not much. Then went to grease it all but since I've never used a grease gun I dunno what I'm doing wrong. Watched...

I'll have a check in the morning. I think I will redo the positioning of that axis in that joint as out of all the circlips that one didn't seem to open as much as the others .

Thanks for all the help. What worked was putting the yoke on top of a 27mm socket, then a smaller hammer balanced on the top then Smacking that hammer with a bigger hammer. Seen that on, a YouTube video. Spent the next few hours cleaning up the yokes and propshaft then this evening putting ujs...

Yeah. Bought a pair today when I was buying a g clamp . If I can get as far as installing the new ujs they will make that clip bit easier !

Yep all clips out. Watched quite a few videos on removing ujs now. This joint I'm trying to remove looks a bit rusty and is wobbling all over the place so is the bust one . Is my best bet to buy a bench vice tomorow and a length of pipe as a breaker bar for the handle ? If do what type of...

Any tips on how to get stuck ujs out ? Nearly broke my hand trying to turn my g clamp handle. I haven't got a desk vice that opens far enough . :/

Mounting points on the door aren't there. On some it's just a hole. I watched the video where he drills a little hole in the plastic then puts a screw in so can try that on some bits . Not sure what to do with the holes. On more positive news my new ujs arrived so I set about cleaning all the...

I finally fixed a few issues! Replaced door latch and door barrel and can now close the driver door properly and can lock that door as well. So for first time in a few weeks my landy is relatively secure! Haven't refitted the door card as the previous owner snapped all the fastners so I need...

Ah.. that makes sense with the little picture on the top of the stick but not with any movement I can do with the little stick So is this what I should be able to do ? H------- ..........| ..........| .........N ? ..........| ..........| L------- As push up and left for High and down and...

Does anyone know how to get that silverish screw out ? I think.the back of the door handle is stopping me from putting the new latch in. I finally got they screw to turn but it is just turning and not coming out at all. Edit: did it ! Well I got the latch in finally. And it hasn't fixed...

Thanks should the diff light be on when in high as well as low ?

Ah right so for normal driving the little stick should always be in the high position (or just not in low)? Bridge Cameras can get some decent stuff. I had a Nikon p900 as a walk around camera when I couldn't be bothered bringing my proper stuff and if there was decent light and the subject...
