Ask AI recommends moly grease, I am going to use copper grease for future in case. Do you use any lubricant and what lubricant do you use?

To get more access to the caliper bolts on passenger side by turning the steering wheel to the most right, I found the steering was moving when undoing the bolts. I disconnected the driver side rod track. I thought power steering won't move, is there a way to prevent steering from moving?

Good idea! When I separated the knuckle, it was hard to loose its lower part. I tried to heat it up, then cool down with cold water immediately, metal expansion and contraction can help.

Do you mean that tool did'nt help you?

I knocked out it. I am trying to push up the upper ball joint with steel pipe by Jack and heat up it at the same time. I suppose 500kg on it, but nothing happened. I am expecting the tool, I wonder if the tool can challenge it.

Thanks! frostythor.

Finally I need to detach knuckle from axle, after I undid lower ball joint nut, I saw a hex on knuckle, do I have to unscrew this, or it is part of the knuckle? See picture. Can someone recommend tools to move out the knuckle and the both ball joints, it seems I don’t need to detach the ball...

Yes, I can do it again tomorrow. When I removed rear caliper before, the socket fits rusty 13 mm bolt straight way.

I saw this link http://www.discovery2.co.uk/brakes.html mentioned front caliper bolt size is 19mm 12-point, but when I tried it, it seems a bit small, I have 2004 landy, should it be 21mm or AF size for the latest td5?

Thank you for your info. I am trying to undo rod end ball joint, I tried 17mm socket is small but 19mm (12 points) one seems a bit bigger? What size is exactly?

Hi my landy failed MOT for "Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirty Nearside Front", MOT tester showed me aged and broken covers. I see there are split covers on ebay...

What type and size fit it?

Thanks StanleySteamer! It makes sense

Hi, I found one of D2 rear brake guide screws has been worn out, any good suggestions to remove it, if I have to drill out, do I need one for safety? Thanks!

Recently I got ACE amber warning light on in normal drive, and after I restarted engine it was gone. Last time happened a few months ago. Nanocom indicates "Fault 33--06 direction control valve fault", I changed ACE fluid and filter 4-5 years ago, should I change them again or leave them, or ACE...

When I removed the hub, I should have jacked up it higher than other side, otherwise the lubricant would not have flew out along the shaft. I don’t see some one mentioned it. Maybe lubricant is contained in ball housing for 1.6L capacity. I saw some part of O-ring was flat or came off the hub...

Yes sierraferry. I just blew, it seems ok. I also checked two years ago. I have slided out the shaft, and looked into axle, I can see diff gears and slide the shaft back, twist it, it is tight, it seems engaged. I have lost 100-200 ml lubricant. I changed the lubricant two years ago, it seems...

I have slided out the hub, but it looks like axle leaking? Because it is not dry as someone’s. Or is it caused by shaft drive shift for pulling the hub?
