    Tools used!!



    Progress!



    I also started to strip the new engine, alternator off, intake and exhaust manifold, head...

    Well it has been a whole between posts...and not much has changed.

    I'm living in Townsville at the moment and my LR is in Melbourne!!

    Being that I'm home for Christmas I've managed to convince the boss that some time in the shed was needed.

    I cleaned and primed the fan and the brake pedal assembly.....

    Just a lick of black and they'll look great!!

    Alternator now fitted
    Fan and fan belt pulley painted and fitted
    I still need a carbie and distributor - any suggestions in Victoria for second hand.....

    Next (once the oil filter is fitted), it back to the chassis. Finish removing the gear box and steering box. Then the front diff and springs....

    So I've started cleaning up the front diff.
    Is it worth stripping the diff down and replace the gaskets and seals? Is it difficult to do so?

    Replacing the pinion seal can be done without pulling the diff.
    If the diff casing is leaking then you'd need to separate the 2 halves and replace the gasket there. You have to pull the axles and then pull out the diff carrier, but apart from it being rather heavy, you should have to mess with preload or gear meshing assuming the bearings haven't been running in sludge for the last 10 years. Just replace the gasket and bolt it back together.

    I would replace the seals in the ends of the axles though

    Thanks Ozdunc!!

    I was hoping that would be the case, the oil that came out of the diff was quite clean.

    So a strip, clean, paint and gasket change is on the cards.....pics to follow
