No. Depending on the angle you’re parked at you might lose a bit but you can just top it up if so. No need to drain the transfer box.

Think that picture is the 300tdi setup, 200tdi should be with the expander and adjuster on the left & right.
What did you struggle with? Was it getting the nut off, or pulling the flange off after removing the nut? The flange can sometimes be a bit of a tight fit so may need tapping or even easier with a puller. There should be minimal oil loss, expect some, but no need to drain the box completely. |

Yes, the picture I shared earlier was obtained from another forum. The one I took myself wasn’t very clear, but I’ve uploaded it now—please have a look. I’m struggling with the nut, as it’s very difficult to remove. So I was wondering, is there a circlip around it, or any clip that prevents the nut from moving? thank you. ![]() Click image to enlarge |

The nut should just be a nyloc, but it will be very tight and the flange wanting to turn is a pain.

@Retroanaconda, Any idea how to remove it? I used the diff lock and released the handbrake, but should I also engage 1st gear?
It’s really tight 😓 and I still failed to remove the nut. |

You can put some sort of bar above and below two bolts and turn the flange so the bar then jams against the chassis. It will probably bend the bolts and mash up the threads though, so you’ll need some new ones. 1983 110 automatic OM606

Put it in diff lock, first gear. Putting the drum back on and pulling the handbrake on might also help.
A 2’ long breaker bar should undo it, but if it’s not been off for a long time it may need an impact wrench or longer bar. |

When refitting the oil seal is fitted flush with the casing or pushed in till it bottoms out?

Ok, looks like I need to buy a long breaker bar, since I was using a normal ratchet with a metal rod. Thanks Bruv! |

Nylock nuts often get very tight over time, so realy big breaker bar and some angle plate with holes tightened to the propshaft flange and jammed to the ground should help. Holding it just by the gearbox is not the bets idea. "Drobek" = The Small One - Discovery 2, "Blufínek" = The Blue Thing - Defender 130, and for me at least Ford Mondeo

@MadTom - Ok, I’ll get the items first and try this method to see how it works. Thank you.
