Land Rover Repair: Differential, rear hubs, rear differential
QuestionWhat are the steps in replacing the rear differential, on a 1991 Range Rover 3.9 V8 Classic? Thanks in adavance.
AnswerFirst, drain the rear axle. Remove the 4 bolts (9/16ths each)from the rear prop shaft attached to the differential. Remove the rear wheels. Remove the 5 bolts from the center of the rear hubs on either side, allowing you to extract the half shafts from either side. Remove the 9/16ths nuts, securing the differential. With a good pry remove the unit. Clean out any debris from the axle casing and fit the new diffential. Don't forget to refill the oil.
