1999 Defender 110 Td5 SW Caledonian Blue

Removing rear drive shafts

To remove the rear drive shafts on a 110;

Slacken off wheel nuts, jack up and support axle.
Remove wheel & centre rubber cap (if fitted)
Undo drive flange bolts
Withdraw the shaft?
Refitting - being the reverse of the above?

Seems quite simple....What about bearings and oil seals? Will the shaft withdraw without the need to remove wheel bearings & seal ? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I presume you have alloy wheels? if you have steel wheels you dont even have to remove.

No bearings or seals to worry about. There is a gasket on the drive flange but cleaning up the faces and using a decent silicone will be fine for reassembly.

Leave the drive flange on the halfshaft for removal too.

Yeah, just go easy with the drive flange bolt removal as they can be known to snap if they have previously been overtightened/threads full of silicone.

Its worth having a bit of rag to hold around the shaft as you pull it out as it will likely be coated in axle oil.

I generally like to drain the diff oil before removing the shafts as i can overflow through the end of the stub axle if it is too full or you are parked on a side slope.
