Rear diff pinion oil seal

'elp!

Got the rear prop off easy enough, just can't get the  :evil: 24mm nylock nut off.  Does anyone have any tricks to loosening that nut? Using a breaker bar with the handle from my trolley jack on the end, with the missus clobbering the bar with a persuader and all the force I'm putting into just compresses the tyres against the chocks... :?  I'm guessing I need the LR special tool to stop the diff moving but any other tips would be useful.

It shouldn't be that hard, its only a nylock......, wheels choked and loads of spray...., should pop off

if you know anyone with a air gun thats how i do mine

clbarclay:
I have special tool for those, but its not a genuine land rover one, broadly speaking its just 2 pieces of flat with some holes drilled in them and a bolt (plus 2 propshaft bolts).

The nuts can still be tight, I had a T bar with long length of pipe through the rear floor area so I could get a decent shove on the bar evan after fitting the special tool.

hobbit:
Liberal spraying of lube, good soak, then apply as much pressure with the socket or ring spanner, while under tension whack the end of the said tool to jolt the nut free, good luck :wink:
