Thread: Series Stub Axles

Never done one, but I’m the sort of person that would have a crack. If new ones are readily available, I’d go for it.

Is it this easy for a Muppet like me and how do I install new collars?

Or is it easier to go with a Ezi Sleeve cure which was on one but a bit worn

easy,

grindy grindy,
chisley chisly
snap clink as it falls off.
heaty heaty
tink as it falls on.

done.

20 minutes tops.

Some dont have removable collars, I have used speedisleeves with no issues.

Thanks for advice would it be fair to say all series 2a have this removable collar including series 3.
Sure I saw a reference some where that only early models had this feature if so how do you tell the difference

Cheers Paul

Recently did one 'in situ' on Wallit.

Grinding - Difficult to access so you need something like a Dremel and a number of cutting discs.
Removal - Should be able to split it with a chisel but....mine was soft so it spread rather than cracked. Eventually loose enough to remove.
Fitting - Would have been a lot easier off the vehicle on a press !

Isuzu C240 powered Series 3

I think next time I'd try drilling rather than grinding, of course the next one will be dead hard and blunt the drill.

The only way you'd tell if it had a collar was by close inspection to see if you can see a join. I wasn't aware that some might not have the removable collar which if correct would be a cost saving exercise by LR.

Replaceable collars stopped some time in S3 production. (From the parts book, looks like June 1980 for 88, July 1980 for 109)

But be aware that the stub axle, or indeed the whole axle, may not be what your Landrover left the factory with!

Yours looks like a flange with replaceable collar. A one-piece flange has got a small machined rounded corner. I can put up a picture of a one-piece if absolutely neccesary.

I Did mine.
Easy, drilled collar, cold chisel, cracked collar. Just slid off.
Some sealant on stub axle, tapped on with piece of pipe.
