Very clearly explained and illustrated video clearly showing the stages from removal, inspection to re-fitting & setting up. I know how to do this but this method seems simpler & more straightforward somehow whilst still doing the job properly & getting minimum backlash bang on the button, well done & thanks.

[@ind_landrover]

Glad we could help!

Hey Dean, cool to see you guys doing these videos. A trick I learned from a friend, put the carrier in a press to hold it while you undo and retorque the carrier and ring gear bolts.

[@carlos8849]

Very well explained, perfectly done and good quality video. Congratulations and many thanks.

An alternative method to set the carrier preload/shims is to make larger diameter shims and fit them behind the bearing shell in the casing, much easier than behind the bearing race itself.

Quality vid 👌🏼

[@nickboylen6873]

30 foot pounds on the pinion preload? Sure about that? As for the half shaft seals in the stub axles, far better to remove them or rip their lips off so that diff oil can lubricate the drive flange splines and wheel bearings - those seals are why 300Tdi and later drive flanges and shaft splines rust and wear so quickly. It would have been nice to see the mesh pattern in the paste you applied.

Just doing my 109 rear diff and axle, great vid, thanks for sharing

[@ind_landrover]

Glad we could help you!!

[@vijaywaingankar8352]

Good job sir❤

[@mauriceharden7349]

Very helpful video - great effort - do you have a video on installation of a diff locker on a Salisbury diff?

[@ind_landrover]

Not yet! That's something we could do in the future if/when we do that job on a vehicle

[@flickflack8081]

Where can I get the tool to spread the diff? And what are the measurements? How do you make sure it’s only spread by .3mm?

[@harrystalick5260]

"30mm of spread" you said. I think you meant 0.3mm

[@peterkarvinen]

Great video thanks !! May I ask what size wheels and tires this beauty is rocking?

[@ind_landrover]

16" wheels with 255 85 60 tyres!

30 ft/lbs to turn a pinion is off the charts too tight. 30 in/lbs more like it.
