    Lt230 rear flange

    Hello, I had a leak from the rear main seal on the transfer box, and when I replaced the seal I found the drive flange had a slight groove where the seal had been wearing, so I got a new Bearmach drive flange, and the kit came with a new part a mud shield that fits under the old dust cover, the question being is it a good idea to fit this mud shield or not? I have fitted it but am now having second thoughts about it, anyone any experience with installing one? On a 1996 Defender 110? The kit is STC 3433. The mud shield in question is the one with the nut sitting in the middle of it?

    I have decided to take the mud shield out, and hopefully it hasn't done any damage!

    I believe the mud shield is only fitted to the front output pinion flange
    The handbrake drum should act as a pretty effective mud shield for the rear

    From my investigations if you install a Bearmach drive flange you have to knock the mud shield onto the base of the drive flange, and if you do this I think it would work okay? I've removed mine as I don't think it's needed, maybe if driving through a lot of mud all the time it would be a good idea? Hope this helps someone else.

    Just wondering, is the oil seal that you installed a double lipped seal or a single lipped one?

    Mike.
