new hub, seal, or just get a jeep?
#11
If only Jeeps were immune to the same problems.... but in reality regardless of which brand you buy, once your vehicle gets some miles on it and the years go by you are just going to have to deal with worn hubs, worn seals, worn tie rods, dampers, suspension, frame rust, engine issues, and cosmetic. The more you use it the quicker its going to wear down and require service. You could say the hell with the seal or bad hub and buy a bicycle.... lol
When I noticed a leak like that I went ahead and replaced both axle shaft seals and the wheels hubs. One less thing to worry about for a long *** time. Those hubs look worn and if you dont replace them now you most likely will be selling your D2 in the near future once you start hearing grinding like noises in the hubs.

The hub seal is very easy. Just did my pass.rear last weekend. Disassemble the brakes as normal, pull the four 12pt hub bolts and gently tap the hub/axle out. That's it really. Don't have to remove the big bearing nut and don't try to torque anything to 300ft pounds. Nothing tricky or special to the job.
Hope That Helps

Just grab as much cash as you can get and consider what a hero you will be if you hand her back some change.

$385 you can get a brand new wheel hub assembly complete with new ABS sensor and save on labor cost by putting it in yourself: HUB ASSY REAR w/SENSOR DISCOVERY II, PLD694, TAY100050 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts

Axle nut torque
Found in another thread. Can't open,the RAVE file on my phone.
Noooo !!! those are for a D1 .....The D2 is different
The Hub securing bolts are 100 lbs ft, or 74 NM, but the problem lies with the axle nut
The D2 requires a Huge torque of 360 lbs ft or 490NM on the axle nut. So you need a biiiiiiiigggg torque wrench, either to borrow or buy.

you can get a aftermarket hub for under $100 on ebay,
it is the exact same Taylor # and comes with the ABS sensor.
I installed on in March, no problems with the fit,
it is the same hub everyone else sell for 3x the money.
you can get all 4 hubs for under $500 if you want to wait a week for shipping.
ORF is correct if you feel any play in the hub its no good
