Did mine and was very careful to caliper measure settings etc. Kept everything clean. reassembled, 6 months and still all good. O Ring replaced, and all good.

Thanks, will post when I Know.

R U going to be in cell range? Can you do basic/but necessary repairs? I routinely go out on my own, but I don't have a choice as its just not practical here in northern bc. I hunt and get wood quite often by myself. I have a winch, highlift jack, extra battery, a sh.tload of tools, 500' of...

I thought that was pretty good as it had the Military transfer case which was seriously under-geared for the new motor. My speedometer isn't working presently so wont know mileage till fixed.

If you pour boiling water over it, it might warm it up and cause expansion, which might help break the seal.

Cant wait to try mine on a long journey. Swapped out the 2.5NA for 300tdi, then changed transfer box ratio as well. Was getting 28mpg before I changed the t-case.

Ok. Thanks

I've read a lot about the poor design of the water-pump location on these engines. Where and what can I do to circumvent this issue, i.e.. it being to late by the time you know there's a low water problem. So i'd like an indication from a different location if there is a significant loss of coolant

I just finished using a very small angle grinder to cut the races off my hubs. It was about an 1.5 inch disc. Cut most of the way through then chiseled it the rest off the way. Heating it is a good way to lessen as well. Good luck.

While changing the rear bearings on my defender, I had an axle stick in place so that the spring steel clip could not be attached as the axle was to far in. After searching the web various suggestions were offered. I tried slide hammer and attaching a ratcheting tie-down strap. Neither worked...

Just replaced transmission/and TC with a higher output gear. anxious to try out new mileage.

So, found rear wheel bearings destroyed. Found play in wheel and removed wheel etc, Bearings destroyed. If you've read my threads I was so busy doing, motor and transmission and TC didn't get around to wheel bearings. I'm praying that was the problem.

Add on too. Found rear wheel bearings destroyed. The screeching I thought was a stone in the brakes was the rear wheel bearings. found out when tested wheel for play.

OK

Recently installed both gearbox and transfer case. After I noticed a difference in shifting. Not as nice and gear selection more difficult. Is this normal? and is that what the adjustment bolts on the sifter box is for? I also had a rhythmic thumping in front end. Examined CV joint. It seemed...

I've never heard of removing a heater to gain power. There is no connection between the two. Larger intercooler, larger turbo yes.

Thanks, good idea, but unlikely....Fort saint James BC Canada. Not the end of the world, but I can see it from here. thanks

Thanks. Will do that this weekend.
