having changed all of mine on my disco over the last few years, you will find it really does make a difference. Once you get into the swing of it, you will realise the benefits of doing both at the same time. Havent looked at any of the links on how to do them on this site, but i always just jack up the front drivers side wheel to allow me to spin the prop from underneath. if you have some form of chock with you, you can chock the wheel when required when you undo each prop bolt. save alot of time unless of course you have a helper to put foot on brake. I have a wife......... sadly not a helper :( LOL
tomkbucks:
ah no not got a jack was just going to slide underneath... do i need to be able to turn the wheels ??
mickelson:
definately, as you wont be able to undo all of the prop bolts. all you need is a bottle jack or a trolley jack. because of the driveline, you will need one wheel of the ground in order to rotate it. as long as the Transfer box is in neutral you can do this.
tomkbucks:
right... should have thought of that ! need to find myself a jack ! and a helper by the sounds of it... cheers for your advice !
