Diff lock linkage fine but no diff lock?

<< < (2/3) > >>

right, when i refitted my 1.410 transfer box into my 90 the difflock was siezed
my method, al-beit daft....but it works
stick landy on level ground
chock the back wheels...and when i mean chock i mean chock  :shock:
jack up 1 front wheel
make sure no 1 is around to get hurt no dogs kids ect ect
now the fun bit  :lol:  :lol:  
1sr gear low difflock in

let cluch out and let it drive at idle

now keep your foot over clutch pedal at the ready  :shock:
and work the lever in and out of difflock with force when going into difflock
and thats how i freed mine off
if not

scrawl underneath the landy

looking at front prop follow the box casing back and look inbertween the gearbox and transfer box, you'll see a access hatch (rectangular in shape wiv afink 7 pins holding it [off top of head])
remove that and free off the pushrod
all that difflock is is a splined shaft thats actuated by that pushrod, the shaft cant sieze but the pushrod can
hope that helps....abit  :lol:  :lol:
if you need pics of what your looking at, ive got a transfer box her i can strip down to show you  :wink:

That's brilliant TBST, The second bit you desribed doing is just the sort of thing I've been hoping to find.

The old Haynes Comics are chuffin useless.

Just one question, will I need to drain and refill the transfer box. I not into getting a good soakin when I open things up :lol:

extreme90:
dunno....depends how much oil is in there  :lol:  :lol:
if its low then no
if its just been filled then yep unless you want a shower in ep90  :lol:

but try my method of free'ing it off 1st as its never failed me
just time consuming if not then whip that access plate off
need anyhelp drop me a pm, before weekend tho as im off to drumclog

Dan, I probably won't be looking at it to carefully untill the weekend but thanks for the offer.

If I can't get it working, the disco is going back to the dealer, i've already notified them that it's not working as it should do.

Pete.

extreme90:
just try my method of freeing it, if no joy then send it back to them and tell um its sh**e  :lol:
ill drop you a pm with my mobby no tomorow night so if your in doubt you can speak to me  :wink:
