    Hi woko,
    Where did you find the procedure on how to rebuild the diff? My rear diff just started making noise and I can pick up a used diff in need of a new bearing fairly cheap. I just need tourqe and preload specs. Thanks Nate

    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.

    Sent from my GT-I9295 using AULRO mobile app
    It doesn't leak oil, Its sweating power

    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.

    Freelander 2 Pinion Bearing

    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.

    Getting the Haldex serviced is certainly a good idea, just remember that there are 2 filters in the Haldex, the obvious one and also a gauze filter which is accessible when you pull off the pump. When I serviced mine both were dirty but the gauze one was 3/4 blocked, which would have been restricting oil flow.
