Well. Mine is bleeding oil like no other and the it looks like the front output shaft is almost kaput. There is a decent amount of play in there now and I think it's ruining my front driveshaft.

I'd like to get another on the bench so I can swap out what seals I can, clean is and just swap them out over the weekend.

It needs to have CDL

I'm currently in southern California if anyone has anything

 

I just sent you a PM.

 

Got it...

Just out of curiosity, how difficult is it to replace the one bearing and the seals on the T-case?

I've never pulled one out of a vehicle before.

 

I guess I need to know if I'm wasting my time trying to replace the one front output bearing and the seals by removing my t-case.

If anyone has done this job I would appreciate some input

 

Haven't done the job, and my lunch break is over so I'll make it quick:


Sounds like it is doable, even in place (but a PITA). Much easier, allegedly, if you can drop it in place on a hydraulic platform/jack.


Honestly, I wouldn't worry about getting another new T-case just yet. I'd drop the one you have, fix the seal, and call it a day.


T-case is an LT-230. I did a quick search for you and brought this up. Most are defender owners (I guess we disco owners don't use ours off-road enough to make them fail! Or maybe our Cardon shaft keeps stresses down so it doesn't usually fail):


front output shaft bearing LT230 - Defender Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum


They claim it's not that difficult, with the proper tools of course.


Good luck!

 

I have an extra one that came out of my 03 disco not sure if it is actually a locker though.
