One last question if you don’t mind. So when I was driving I could still see the intermediate bolt and the nut still moving. Is that bolt suppose to stay still when driving? If it is then it’s not right enough. I strong armed it down pretty good and the gears were still able to move freely. Also...

Great. Bigger problem then I can handle. It wasn’t the o ring in the rear. I think it was the looseness of the nut. I’m not sure anymore, will most likely take it to a garage and pay the price.

Ok. Then I have to loosen it and that maybe the cause as to why it’s making a grinding noise. If I’m loosing fluid from those holes. I’m assuming back o rings?

Ok I’ll put some force behind it this time until I can’t turn the nut anymore. Then see what happens. By play I have none from front to back but I can still roll the gears by hand. Is that correct? Thanks for the assistance.

I thought I took out all play but I wasn’t sure if I could tighten it until I couldn’t tighten anymore as well as the gears still being able to move. So tighten it until I can’t tighten it while still allowing the gears to move?

So just keep tightening it ? It’s when I’m driving I can see it moving from the middle console board taken out and I was afraid of it being a bearing. Is it just me taking the intermediate gear out and dropping the gears to replace the bearings and putting back in while the t case is still mounted?

So I snugged it down pretty well. It was making a minor grinding noise earlier when it and lose. Now it’s making it a lot more. The bar is still moving even though I tightened it down and nicked in the piece to the notch. Any further advice?

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate your time!

1990 Defender 90 200TDI I had a leak of some more coming from my transfer box. Realized it was the nut on the intermediate gear, it was loose. What is the best way to go about tightening it as in reading it needs some specialty hands on when the transfer case is totally broken down for a...

i have a 1990 Defender 90 200 TDI. I changed the rearoutput seal already. Now it seems that there is the same or more still leaking but just forward of the seal. Is there another seal behind that? I have to change the bearing as that was burnt out and it whines. I figured while I’m back there I...

I have locked the rear and nothing. When it’s not locked it does the same thing. If it’s in the diff and transfer box What fixes it??

Prop shafts

I tried up loading the video but doesn’t want to work. The play is in both drive shafts rotational. It’s the clanking when I shift that is the most concerning. Would it be the rear frame ball joint?

So how do you fix it? I have the same issue. 1990 Defender 90 200TDI

Thank you all for the quick response. It’s much appreciated!

I don’t. Normal driving but really just wanted to go with vented.

i have a 1990 Defender 90 200 TDI, and I cleaned up the swivel ball and replaced the seals and needed new rotors. I put vented rotors on my front axle. I am purchasing those calipers as well. Is this an issue. I am hearing it can work and it can’t work. Please help me out as I ordered the parts...

Hello, I have a 1990 Defender 90 200TDI. I am having quite a bit a play when it comes to the drive shafts. This is making my defender clank when shifting in gears. How do I take the play out? It's not the UJs, I can see it when I turn the tire and the drive shaft of how much free play there...
