¿replaced oil seal for differential pinion? - Land Rovers Only

onecross · 02-22-2007, 11:01 PM

so we replaced the oil seal for differential pinion according to the green bible (at the same time we replaced the bearing retainer gasket) now the drive flange feels really tight we i try to rotate it by hand should it get looser after its driven (we have not adder oil or put the axles in) or should it not have been torqued to the green bibles specs? please advise.

Thanks,
Mat

I think that you have got the bearing too tight.... It should not be that hard to turn, and if it is a tight bearing, running it will make it heat up and blow the bearing..... but if things were done to spec with the green bible, I do not see how you got it too tight?

I vote for misalignment of the bearing retainer.
