Thread: Rear diff pinion bearing

there are a lot of service tools required. I had to modify a socket to undo the pinion nut. I could do the rest without the tools

Hi great info.

I'm having my diff rebuilt after pinion bearing failure. Bought kit FDK004 from uk seller on ebay for $230 delivered. Not sure how much labour will be as they are doing the job for the first time and are scratching round for/making tools as they go along. My question for anyone who has done this repair is this:

Should I be worried about the oil in the haldex unit being contaminated with metal filings ? There were bits all through the diff but all the gears look undamaged. We cant see inside the haldex however. They're going to check the oil filter etc. but id appreciate the benefit of any experience people may have. Obviously now is a good time to replace or repair any bits on the haldex unit while its sat on a bench, but if it is unlikely to have been affected then ill spend the money on feeding my family, alcohol or the like.

Thanks in advance

The haldex is sealed in a different compartment from the diff. The haldex uses a different oil and is dealer only and expensive.

Woko, once my diff goes I will hunt you down to assist, being in my neck of the woods and all .

Woko, I am getting ready to replace my bearing and the link above will not work for me. Is there a new link or something? Thanks.

Hi All,

Thank you so much for this thread. I used the part numbers provided by WOKO and bought them at the Landy Dealership here in SA. I bought Timken Bearings, removed the differential. (not very difficult)
Took the diff with the parts to a Gearbox and Diff rebuilder. I had to put in new axle oil as well as Haldex Oil. Got the whole job done for less than half what I was quoted and the Landy runs like a dream now.
So again, a BIG thanks for the info.
