stub axles
denviks:
just a quick question again....this might make me look alittle daft :oops: :lol: ......... i have the axle to JA 032850 which looking at the break down pics hasnt got a seal inside the stub axle to seal against the drive shaft. so as fat as i can see ep90 can flow through the stub axle to the outside of the bearings..... so what stops it moving into the bearings........... its it just the seals on the bearings?
dont wanna seem think :wink:
Range Rover Blues:
If it's the earlier non-ABS axle then the outer oil seal is what stops EP90 running into the bearings and washing them out. If you have the old mushroom style drive meber then this is what you have, do you not notice how you always spill a drop od EP90 when doing your wheelbearings.
denviks:
thanks mate. that makes scence now........ i have just found out that i also have the older rear axle in my 200 disco..... so with the second lot of parts from land rover i managed to get the job done this afternoon...... fingers crossed it wont leak this time ...... :D :D :D :D
thanks all for your advice ....
Range Rover Blues:
What are the differences in the parts then? I just thought it was the casings.
denviks:
on the older version the stub axle doesnt have a seal onit. also on the newer axle you only have one seal ( inner ) on the bearings....
thats all i can see so far....... :wink:
