Got another pinion crush sleeve and installed it using inch pounds this time. All good! Took it for a short drive today for about a hour doing average 40kph. The hottest part of the diff was 150f and that was right where the pinion front bearing would be. I read somewhere you don't want to go...

While I wait for the crushable spacer in the mail, I was looking at the carrier today and checking out the planet gears inside to see if there is any play. So If I put a half shaft in each side of the carrier and spin just one half shaft, the other sides half shaft goes backwards (normal)...

No, it was me speed reading and hotdogging it as usual. It was the first result some conversion website, I should have typed inches not foot.

I'm back working on this. Machine shop did fine, but since it was banged on the cement floor a few times the threads where banged up. M22 1.5 dye tool fixed it. I just failed a common sense issue by converting units wrong. The Torque resistance initial settings in book (drive pinion) says for...

I had a gear missing before too. A bolt came out inside the gearbox, it came out when draining the oil. The bolt tightens a clamp inside, its been so long at least that's what I think happened in my case. I could look up the proper name tomorrow. I think there are three pins that slide in and...

I like the sun visor. Very nice.

There was just a hair of space behind what was the cone. I was able to take a solid measure, it matched Wikipedia's entry. I'll report back when machinist is done. (lathe I assume) Edit: 04-12-24, I have run out of freetime, pinion is still at machine shop. Hopefully I get some time in July to...

Thanks, I don't know anything about speedy sleeves, I wonder if there is a limit on the length. Ill post what the pinion looks like today before going to machine shop. According to wikipedia and Timken the diameter is the same. 1.6250" (Dana 60 pinion shaft, Timken HM803110, Britpart 607180) I...

Failed- My 20 ton press broke, so took to friends shop, his 80 ton could not do it either. Its like its fused on there. Might have to put it on a lathe is my guess. Just peel it off. I applied heat on it as well. Edit: Friends was 50 ton press not a 80, and that brand new race puller thingy...

Thanks, the little jerk will be off tomorrow. I see the delivery guy closing in on my home. Ill have pictures of the tool I bought and how easily the little twirp slides off with the right tool. (wether permitting) lol

Still waiting for the tool I bought on fleabay to pull the race off the pinion. As I am running out of freetime for the future and I tried to use a dremmel with a cutting wheel and grind a channel through it. Worked on this for some time today, even applied heat to race and keeping the pinion...

Decided I'm going to clean out the axle tube tomorrow while I'm waiting for one last item. I'm a bit shocked at the amount of metal flakes and perhaps rust inside. I think Ill be on the road again in a week :-)

update, I just got the diff spreader a couple days ago, glad I bought it as I still had to pry it out after wrenching a fair bit with the spreader. Another tool I am glad I had was a long solid small dia metal pipe to push out the bearing seats on the pinion. It was fairly evident what I...

Just a update, the parts I ordered are starting to trickle in. Just waiting for a reasonably priced Dana 60 spreader I found on fleabay, decided not to use the prybar method and go by the book. I don't have a drill press at the moment or the spare iron and lathe to make one. The only thing I...

Thanks, Found one on fleabay with cork gasket and plug. Shipping and import duties doubles the price for me, but its still cheaper than buying parts for some of these new vehicles that are OEM parts from factory. :) I was reading about guys running their diff with no oil, and every one had there...

Its just brakes, lights, emissions test. nobody cares if its front wheel drive here or rear wheel drive. my question was about the bearings. I'm going to buy some gear oil and fill it just to be safe. Edit: Passed :-) I took the lazy route in the end since im overdue for a win. Did not fill the...

question, Im going to get my yearly road worthiness test done today. So I am just about to put the transmission brake drum back on with the rear drive shaft and both half shafts removed. What are the chances I burn up a wheel bearing with not having gear oil in the differential. I know it...

correct, it will thread all the way in. I hit a bump and with most of the weight of the plug inside, it fell in. So just imagine a long solid plug screwed into sheet metal. A quick fix would be to dent the threads at top of plug and only thread the plug in no more than 50%.

I guess this diff is solid (salisbury). I was reading about how you can beef up this or that, well I would for sure weld a washer to that filler plug. That seems to me to be the weakest link. Kinda glad that the cover is somewhat thin metal and gave way instead of the crown gear.

I searched for a new plug to buy, and wow, so many reports of this happening to other owners on google search. Must have been 8 or so topics on other land rover forums. What a design flaw. I ordered parts for just about everything except the shims and the internal gears RTC4488. I think those...
