    Help Coarse fine axles

    Hello
    I have replaced coarse spline diff with a fine spline diff. I have now found that the end flange that bolts to the hub is shallower on the fine spline axles.So of course does not fit. I`m guessing I`m not the first. So I`m asking what is the solution?

    You need the stub axles & hubs from a later 24 spline Disco to suit.

    There was a small changeover period where you don't need to change the stub axles & hubs but that's not your case it seems.

    Thanks Scouse for that info.The rear axle is a early range rover one,so now got to find me some 24 spline disco axles.Also I`ve got a spare set of later 24 spline range rover axles to get rid of.

    A bit of a follow up. Scuose I`m thinking now that you are describing the front shafts? I`m having problems with the rear axle shafts. What I found and did was. I called into bloke in Seaford wrecking Disco`s who enlightened me to the fact there ain`t no deep flange 24 spline axles. So I went to the bloke in Sky who wrecks and repairs Rangies. From him I brought from a later Range Rover shorter hub stubs that bolt onto the ends of the axle housing. Now I could have also brought the wheel hubs as well as the bearings need to be closer together. But as I am a tool maker and a tight arse on a budget, I will just alter the hubs I have already got to suit. All that needs to be done is making the outer bearing bore deeper.

    I was referring to the rears.

    There's not too many RRs around with 24 spline axles as they came about near to the end of the Classic RR run which is why I suggested Disco parts.
    The 'shorter hub that bolts to the axle housing' is the stub axle I referred to. Good work on modifying the hubs BTW .

    Had a closer look at what needed to be done.Yes it can be done,no question there.But the end result is not satisfactory.Would mean completely machining out the front bearing shoulder and facing of the inside face of the rear one.Then making a spacer to get the front bearing in the right spot.The problems with this is you are then only relying on one shoulder to keep the wheel on and also the front bearing outer race would not be fully supported as it would be entering into the centre grease well. So a tight arse tool maker on a budget will have to buy some hubs as well. As Ned said such is life. The minister of war and finance has a another opinion,but it is a G rated forum
