Reply With QuoteThat sounds maybe a little much? How much are the flanges by themselves? Are they going to pull the hubs off to change the inner hub seal? Are they going to pull the stub axles off to remove the axle seal?

Hello all, hope we are doing well and life is good.
I'm wondering if the oracle can help me with some rough pricing for fitting of maxidrive flanges/hubs (not sure their full name). I have a 95 defender which is apparently needing them replaced. I have been quoted about $1000 for them.

they mentioned the splines are worn so maybe it is the halfshafts too......as far as i know they will do everthing......
sorry i cna't be more specific....

Including maxi axles it would seem a little more reasonable.
Master
ahhhh... i suspect it was including them......

I'd want to know what they were going to do before I agreed to hand over $1000 of mine.Originally Posted by haggisbasher

SubscriberShould be $700 or close to it for Rear axles and drive flanges.
Front flanges are............I dont know.
Give Fred Smith a call. He stocks maxi drive gear. You shouldn't have to wait, usually.

a little birdy tells me the rear wheel bearing have to be converted to oil bathed to get full advantage and warranty on the maxidrive axles and plates upgrade, ring true?

you just need to remove one seal
i was in a mad rush to finish my upgrade before my simpson trip, got the axles in two nights before i left, not even enough time for the oil to reach the bearing before leaving,, topped the diff up a bit along the way

spoken to them and they are fitting the axles and flanges for me....new seals the whole lot. Will chat to tem regarding the oli bathed question.
I've heard good things regarding Fred...... spoken to him about other stuff too and he seems a top bloke.
