Using shims to set the top pin and get the correct preload is demonstrated in this iveo. Failry standard across the Land Rover Defender Disscovery and RRC front axle range, We'll show you how easy it is and with alittle patience and short bolts we soldier on through this before fittign the sela on in the next section. This video is ideal for those who have never attempted overhauling thier swivel pin housings before.

Excellent video. I found that after each refitting of the top pin I needed to swivel a few times to allow the bearing to settle and then try. If not at first it felt very stiff.

I want to ask about the size and inner and outer dimensions of the top bearing for my Land Rover. I appreciate your help thank you

Try getting the end of the half shaft back into the diff. Its like throwing darts in the dark.

shimmed up my housing this way and, so far, it looks/feels ok, better than it was the first time anyway!

It's a snap om very low profile 3/8" drive ratchet. Lot my usual one and this was on a special so brought it. (TBH it was the only thing close on the van at the time).

Nice vids, its realy helping rebuilding my 110. I need to convert my front axle 24 spline to LHD, it has the railko Bush, do you know if i can fit a discovery1 housing to do this?

@ExclusiveK9Alberta

What kind of paint did you use on housing ?

Thank you for this series. I think this may be the cause of jumpy steering on my series (too tight) so I'll rebuild it soon. what ratchet is tha? nice and slim handle :)
