RE: A picture of what I found....
Me again. One thing that has me somewhat confused is the lack of any oil or grease coming out of the shaft. I would think if I had a bearing failure that there would be oil. Just my thoughts. What do you think? Hope to hear from you today. I will plan on taking the bus to Tirana tomorrow to the Land Rover Shop and hopefully purchase the new bearing. My truck may be down for awhileif they have to order from the UK.

Ok - spoken with a couple of other people, if it's not the bearing it might be the output shaft itself is bent. If that's the case you'll need a new bearing anyway as an impact hard enough to bend the shaft will mess with the bearing too.
When you take it to bits to replace the bearing , place the shaft on a clean flat surface and roll it along with the palm of your hand - you should be able to feel if it's bent as an irregularity in the way it rolls.
Cheers,

Thanks ADZ, I look forward to tearing into this. Any idea what a new shaft would run? I may have to order from the UK. I doubt they would have one in stock. I always hope to find a salvage yard for items like that, but I have not seen to many Defenders in the yards here. Thanks again.
