After going through some manual pages, I've come up with a few parts that look like they're one time use parts that I'll need for swapping my rear diff:

2x Halfshaft retaining nut
2x halfshaft snap ring
2x halfshaft oil seal
4x torx bolts for rear driveshaft

Anyone have any comments? Something I honestly don't need to buy? Open for opinions and thoughts. And with that said, where should I buy them? Land Rover Meriam doesn't seem to show them on their website these days, nor does Lucky8.

You can reuse the halfshaft nuts and snap rings if they look in good condition. I also wouldn't replace the torx bolts.

This is a big job. You need to remove some support bolts for the lower control arms in the rear to remove the halfshaft.

I would just place the axle oil seals; a new diff comes with these by the way.

 

FWIW I've re-used every one of those parts with no problems. I'm sure the 'official' word is to replace but it's not that big a deal.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I was heading that direction myself.

I could not re-use the snap rings. So those you should definitely get spares of.
