How hard is it to change a rear diff on a disco????
Range Rover Blues:
24 spline RRC would have the doughnut too, unless it came from the front or was a very rare hard dash 24 spline axle.
Diffs are heavy so you need a trolley jack with a big pan to balance it on. Don't trust silicone sealant either, get a proper gasket and grease it before use.
Make sure you get all the bits of old diff outm of the axle casing too, otherwise you'll have problems, go on, ask me how I know :evil:
Chris Putt:
30 mins if you are quick!

Well, i have stripped out the old diff and this is what i found.....
Shocking really!!!
its all cleaned out now, awaiting the replacement.
I got a feeling this has been going on for quite a while..... hopefully it might be a little quiter when we are driving from now on!
Thanks for your suggestions and comments
cheers

i had a diff go like that once, was due to me adding a oil addative to make the oil "stickyer" since then just used normal Ep90 & havent had any issues as yet
tip 1- change the oil regularly & make sure ur breather is clear
tip 2- if it takes anymore than an hour to change a rear diff you are drinking to much tea :lol:
les baty:
cheers very much.
I have had to take this one a bit slower than would have liked, as i am just recovering from a bad back (3rd time in 2 years!!) the bone cruncher has luckily managed to sort it out, so i didnt want to harm it too much. The tea, was flowing, but most of the time went cold!!! The blood was also flowing quite well, it doesnt really matter what i do, i always manage to gouge a hole in my hands!!!
By the way, we only just purchased this disco, so this error is not due to my lack of maintenance, my other discos dont whine at all!
