As mentioned earlier, it's a much easier job to pull the half-shafts out than crawling around on your back trying to get the driveshaft(s) uni's off.

It does not have fully floating axles, so cant do that unless you remove wheels and hubs as well.

Aah... my mistake; I didn't realise they were different. Learning all the time.

SupporterI thought I had a series 1 with fully floating rear end. The reason I say that was because if I tried to fit a s2 axle on either side it was longer by about an inch and I needed to put spacers and longer bots in to make them fit. I am now questioning when did LR widen the track of its vehicles between S1 and S2. As I have said in my previous post with pics, it was a S1 1958 model. People say it was an s2. But the dash, body etc was all SI and the wheel base was 86". So I am now confused

SupporterIt would be an 88" wheelbase. The last of them made in 57/58, some had fully floating axles,continuing on to the Series 2 in 58 also.

Just to clarify the last post. The track widened with the Series 2, but the last of the Series 1s had fully floating axles, still with the narrower track, so the half axles are about an inch shorter than the Series 2/2a/3 ones.
However, since the floating stub axle bolts onto the same axle housing, it is possible to convert the semifloating axle to full floating with 2/2a/3 parts using either the 1958 Series 1 half axles (scarce as hen's teeth) or 2/2a half axles with a spacer, and I am sure both have been done many times.

SupporterThanks John, that is why I am convinced my old LR was a 86" S1. It must have been very close to change over to S2 because it had all the S1 wiring, engine, dash, radiator gearbox (small front bearing), narrow track BUT when I went fit a S2 motor (ohead valves), the engine mounts were in the correct place! That was odd as I was told at the time I would have to get mounts made. But in the end I didn't. I posted a pic of it in the S1 forum.
