Thread: What did you do on your Defender today ? (well, this week anyway)

A quick trip to KLR and Brad had it in parts within 30 seconds.

So this part of the job is done...

Topped up fuel and finished most of the packing for my departure for Perth on Wednesday. Tomorrow will be spent getting the house organised to leave for a couple of weeks, and hope to be out of here by 0700 on Wednesday.

Yeah I thought of that after I had it off! I will give it a go with the air gun but suspect that won’t have enough guts. Plan B is to take it to KLR and get the boys to do it for me.

Cheers Simon

I got mine of in a vice with a short 3/4 inch bar and a very thin walled 3/4 inch 30 mm socket.... rattle gun did absolutely nothing.
Had no luck with normal sockets, the thin one covered the whole nut
I was about at the point of drilling a few small holes in the nut before that

Thanks MFC, I didn’t have a large enough socket for the rattle gun and didn’t want to use the ordinary socket and risk shattering it. I was using a 600mm length of gal pipe on the socket but the whole thing just moved in the vice. I did take it to KLR and they had it off in seconds. Brad did say ‘we normally take these off on the vehicle’ but certainly helps having all the correct equipment.

Next time I’ll be foing it while it’s in car to

And me!

Put sticky tape on my rear window after a slight woopsie.
