Disco-andy:
you don't need a "special" tool to hold the hold the diff flange when undoing the nut.....just have someone put the brakes on!

Range Rover Blues:
Anyone talking about "backlash" is confusing the Rover diff witht he "english" diff common in classic Fords and others where the pinion bearing preload was set by crushing a spacer between the 2 bearings on the pinion shaft, hence tightening up the pinion nut meant measuring the running torque of the pinion before assembling the crownwheel, a sod of a job.

On the Rover diff the drive flange butts up to a shoulder so as long as it's tight enough to stay put then there is no adjustment to get wrong.

Do explain.


Finding a second person to hold the brakes is not always an option, where as a couple of lengths of flat, a drill and a bolt to hold them together is easier to get hold of at home.
