    Drive Flange Bolts

    One of my rear drive flange bolts has a stripped thread in the hub. I recall seeing on pirate that our brethren across the ditch over drill and retap the hub to take a larger diameter set of drive bolts. Presumably so they can run 80inch tyres at 1psi up vertical rock faces with a million HP trying to turn the axles...

    I guess the easy fix would be a heli coil, but Im keen on hearing options


    any suggestions or experience on this matter.

    regards,
    Steve

    although I know of a landy thats been getting around for a while with a snapped bolt thats got an easyout snapped off inside of it thats had the head of the bolt just held back in place with a dob of atv blue so that it looks like it was fixed properly.

    All Series Landrovers I believe are BSF, everything else metric.

    The correct solution according to the book is probably a new (or S/H) hub, and if you can find one S/H it may be cheaper and less messing about too.

    1995 130 fender rear, so sals.

    From memory they are M12 by 1.5 studs.

    Ill do some digging on pirate... I think someone was building up a rover axle with toy guts, they machined the LR hubs for toy stubs and also over bored and tapped the drive flange bolts, I would presume it would have to go to 5/8 for any real gain...

    If the wise think that a helicoil will take the pounding then Ill just whip one of those in.

    Dave, I first noticed the leak after Bathurst Heads in Nov last year, I tried using ATV in copious quantities but the overfilled sals keeps winning.

    Regards,

    I guess that would stop the leak... but not the greatest for the wheel bearings mayhaps?
    Maybe I could use a tried and true LR leak prevention removed oil from diff and housing and replace with moly... no leaks and surely no problems.

    wheres your leak from...

    atv blue on the splines stops the spline from leaking (providing you let it setup before you fill/drive it)

    forget the gasket and use locktite 510/515 to seal the drive flange with a generous application locktite 243 to seal the flange face and the bolts

    if your blowing out the seal all the time then you have issues, start with checking the breather.
