The axles were from a 1960 seriesII (not IIa), though thats not to say that the axles were original to that vehicle.

what year did landrover go metric ???
Landrover started to go metric right at the end of S2a production with the wheel studs. The process was still incomplete even at the end of S3 production - I believe S3 still had a few BSF (as opposed to UNF) threads left to the end, including the wheel bearing nuts. My 110 still has some UNF.
The change from British Standard to Unified Standard threads started with late Series 1 production, I think the diesel engine was the first assembly to go all Unified.
Dave is correct about the grease packing - assemble wheel bearings packed in grease to provide initial lubrication. This supersedes the earlier provision of oil fillers on the drive flanges. If your drive flanges have these fillers you can fill the hub with oil - 1/3 pint (0.19l) instead of greasing them, but you must do one or the other - you cannot rely on the oil getting to the bearings before they are destroyed.

well, they were definately not UNF. i'll grab a few BSW sockets / spanners from my old man to check if they are..
seems like greasing seems the go, i'll have to check what else needs 'replacing' and put an order in for some parts to replace things.

Just measure the thread pitch - if it is metric it will be 1mm, 1.25mm or 1.5mm or similar, but if BSF will be an integral number per inch.

Any Ideas on how the Gear Oil is getting from the diff housing into the drum and coating the brake shoes?
My thoughts looking at the exploded pic in the Landrovers.com.au parts book is R14 (inner bearing oil seal) or R16 (Sleeve for Oil Seal)?i have a couple of sets of Draper Thread gauges, i'll try that tonight.
cool, they are in much better shape than my old ones, i'm going to strip the original down too to compare.

Oil usually gets onto the brake linings because of the seal in the back of the hub. Often because the surface of the "distance piece" on the stub axle is grooved and undersize.
Take a close look at the surface and if damaged use a cold chisel to separate it from the stub axle and replace both the distance piece and a new hub seal.

my draper thread gauges say... the end of the thread is inline with whitworh 20 1/4 i think it was, but the fresh nice bit of the thread (near the head of hte bolt was far from and a different pitch, so it looks like someone has butchered metric bolts in and distorted the threads to tighten?
i pulled the brakes out and found a seized piston in the wheel cylinder, so might just replace all 4 cylinders as well whilst i am at it and look at the drums and shoes. I replaced all the brake lines so may as well finish the job.
ordered the parts from Rover Parts today, hope to get them tomorrow or early next week.

ok, I got my big box of Parts today, thanks to the friendly service of RoverParts.com.au
popped over to my Father's place to borrow his BSW 5/16 Socket and Spanner...
