Today’s progress

I decided rather than clean each part as I remove it, that I would dismantle and clean it all later. I haven’t removed the centre diff and associated cluster yet, that’s for tomorrow.
Am I right I’m assuming that I should replace this part? If so, would anyone have one lying around that I could buy off you?

I would not put in in dishwasher with dish washing powder, It is to basic, high pH it will eat away the aluminium. How a bout a bucket of kero and a soak?
Good idea to put the steel insert in.
I wish I had a ATB [bigsad] what did it cost to get here?
The ATB and a high capacity sump with postage was £470. I justified it by not paying labor costs to rebuild this case.Quote:

I have a fresh rebuilt LT230 here and would like to replace the original diff with the Ashcroft ATB.
Without taking everything apart?
Maybe somebody did this before and could give me some tipps!
Need to remove the rear extension housingQuote:

He recently (as in a week or two ago) has some vids re the LT230.
Not specifically in terms of rebuild for 'ya, but some info for you to digest there.
I can't see why you'd replace that spacer/bearing holder plate, is it obviously damaged in some way?
That plate holds the bearing race for the input gear.(flip side to your photo of it).
Are you renewing all the bearings?
And looks like (as would be expected in a late model TC) .. you have the cross drilled input gear.
More TC rebuilding tips in video form would be at LR Toolbox(YouTube again).
You definitely have a cross drilled input gear in that picture.
Just ensure the internal splinting for the GBox main shaft are in good nick.
Be careful pressing out/ in the bearing races! I cracked a front housing leaning a little too much hydraulic pressure onto them!
Have you a dial gauge and mag base for checking endfloat?
I found that even with the new ATB centre, using the same shims as removed resulted in-spec end float. From this I assumed the shins are to take up case tolerance not shaft/ bearing tolerance?

Yes I’m replacing the bearings. The rebuild kit I have came with bearings, o rings and gaskets. The circled bit in the below pic is broken which is why I was asking if I should replace it as I’m going to the effort of rebuilding this case. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b3cb702643.jpgQuote:
