On the screw? Yes I did. That’s not the problem now though, the disc itself is seized on to the hub

Got the right tool but still had to drill it out. Now the disc is seized solid. I’ve tried hammering, plus gas, and heating with a blow lamp, tried the nut & bolt through the carrier trick to push it out and broke one m8 bolt and bent the other. Any other ideas? I don’t want to get too...

Cheers! (And I don't think I've got one and I'm doing them tomorrow!)

Anyone know what size of Torx bit i need to remove front disc retaining screws on the Freelander 2?

The ones I took out are the same as the new ones I’m putting in, I just wanted to know if there was a better way.

I tried refitting the new ones again. Seems the previous owner had them fitted so the wider inner end of the spindle just butted up to the inside hole. It looks like it’s far enough through, I’ll take photos later, I’m working I’m the caravan just now.

The motor etc worked with this setup before, as far as I can tell the whole system is the old type, they’ve just not put the shafts through properly before. I’d have thought drilling the existing holes round would allow me to fit them better. Can you see any problems with that?

@jamesmartin if I can pick your brain... do you see any problem with drilling the bulkhead to fit the older wheelboxes? I’ve done an older one before but can’t remember, do they just have round holes in the bulkhead?

Yes, I bought the old type some time ago, the motor's been off the road for a while and I've been working on it on and off.

Slight correction, I cut off the wiper arm adaptors first.

They looked normal when I took them out, just undid the nut and pulled the cable out. They were quite tight and difficult to get out but I didn’t take much notice as I had no reason to think they might be the wrong ones. Not sure how far through the hole they were or how the guy who rebuilt it...

The ones I removed are the same as the older type in the link

Bump! Anyone?

Old type: https://www.lrparts.net/prc8495-wiper-wheel-box-assembly-for-defender-up-to-2002-chassis-number-1a622423-onward.html New: https://www.lrparts.net/dku500010-wiper-wheel-box-assembly-for-defender-from-2002-2016-chassis-number-2a622424-onwards.html

I’ve been replacing the wiper boxes on my 1992 Defender. Both new and old wheel boxes have a circular shaft, but the hole in the bulkhead is flat top & bottom (see photo), which stops the shaft going through. The shaft on the later td5 boxes is flat top & bottom. Since the bulkhead was replaced...

Evenin’!
