there should be play as in clockwise and anticlockwise.(a little)


but there should be no left right /up down play

the play is up down left and right so if the transfer box does have to come out then how difficult is it, will it come out by its self or does the g'box have to come out aswell

As has been suggested, it's probably only in need of a new bearing. If it does have to come out it's quite a simple job - remove propshafts, disconnect linkages/speedo cable/etc and unbolt from main gearbox. The biggest problem is that it is VERY heavy, so manoeuvering it about to remove it from tha main box isn't easy, and be very careful.

The job is covered in the Defender Haynes manual, so would gues the Disc one will also cover it.

Wolfie
