In the process of having the front drive shaft rebuit on my 2000 Disco II. In addition, I'm installing an EBC Performance Brake upgrade since I do some towing with it.

Question is, can the Rover be driven while the front driveshaft is out without damaging anything?

 

If your cdl works, lock it.
Then pull the front DS

You can drive all you want, (nicely, as the whole load is now on the rear diff)

I wouldn't spend any time over 60-70mph, tho'

luck,greg

 

Get under your truck and reach above the transfer case. You can feel the nut that needs to be turned to engage the CDL. As said before don’t go crazy slamming the gas off of stop lights as this is going to put more pressure on your rear shaft, rotoflex and diff.

 

The CDL worked great. I was able to keep driving the Disco while the front driveshaft was being rebuilt by a local company ($183 - Universal Products - They also installed Grease Zerks in every u-joint).

Additionally, I got the EBC Performance Brake Upgrade installed - Slotted and dimpled rotors and EBC pads... Wow! What a difference!

Next step is to install a CDL engagement device in the cab... That may come in handy in wintery conditions or really muddy terrain...

 

do you gays have eany pictures on were to lock de cdl. i am lost donot know where is the cdl lock. thanks..

 

put your truck model and year in you signature. what do you drive? the post marked spigot in this photo has a tab that can be turned with an open end wrench. it needs to be turned a 1/4 turn clockwise to engage the CDL.

I didn't think gays would be driving discos?

 

That has to be the funniest reply of the month!

 

HAAAY!
