    Salisbury diff pinion seal replacement

    This guy has a good video on doing the diff replacement

    Land Rover Series - Changing Salisbury Diferential Pinion Seal - YouTube

    I'm doing it now but in the video he marks the thread with a punch to locate the position of the nut because of the preloading setting.
    Wouldn't that make it difficult if it was ever changed again or do you expect to never have to change the preload??

    Any pro tips while I'm here?

    Cheers

    From memory you don’t centre punch the thread.....

    You centre punch the end of the shaft and the outer edge of the nut.

    Impact gun make the job nice and easy.

    Oh yeah cheers

    That must be what he's doing just watched it again he does do two punches. Impact gun would make a lot of jobs easier but for now I'm running on minimum funds

    Wow what a dog I'm going back to the drawing board tomorrow. I dodgied up this little brace for the pinion to the ground but that nut is not budging yet even used the jack to push an extension bar. Bent the bloody thing.

    Cracked the dog 😂
    This is the new brace so it doesn't run over my head when trying to undo the nut

    How do I rotate pics? ?

    There's the problem doc. Jesus no wonders it is leaking 😂 how the hell it was doing anything is anybodys guess. The splines look good but the pinion head is scored where this old seal was. Not really badly but I'm not sure if it's an issue or not

    On the very inside of where the seal sat there's an old thin cardboard looking gasket. Should I be putting that back in with the new type of seal? Maybe it's come off the back of the old seal and it's not necessary any more?

    Hopefully somebody else chimes in as I cannot answer for sure. I’m guessing remove it.

    The only one I’ve done was on a defender.

    You do not need to worry about the preload. It takes a lot of torque to collapse the preload spacer.
