Blown Diff!

(1/2) > >>

Skippy:
has anybody had to rebuild a disco rear axle before? Is it worth attempting myself? My rear diff desided to explode and try and make a break for freedom though the diff pan!!!!  

Next time i go off roading ill make sure i leave my lead boots at home

muddyweb:
A good few of us have done it...  is there anything in particular you'd like to know ?

Skippy:
Well, i had to remove the prop & half shafts so at least thats allready done.  will it now be possible to just unbolt all the diff bolts and pull the old one out, and then weld a new pan on? or will i have to remove the whole axle?

Wanderer:
Been there, done that Skippy.

The worry is when you start to enjoy doing the repairs.

Skippy:
Youre right there, it was a relly good laugh getting under there and removing the prop & half shafts so i could get home!  There were also plenty of helpful people who were quite willing to lend me their tools.

Two valuable lessons learned:

1: Leave the lead foot at home when offroading.
2: Remember that i drive a Landrover and always carry tools :oops:
