I had a bearing go on the rear of my 110 Jon , it was a 06 model . I took the bolts out round the flange and pulled the shaft out . That let me into the hub nuts , caliper bolts out then off with the hub , knocked out the old tracks and seals , fitted new ones . Job done .

Aye , it made a noise Jon , but it also made a crunching noise when the teeth stripped off the drive flange another time .

Take the rubber cap off and check the shaft's inot slipping round in the flange .

Exactly the same. Yes it made a horrible graunching noise!

 

Easy to fix though and all the parts are readily available if they're broken. On mine the bearing carrier was ruined so I sourced a new item from Dingocroft/LRSeries suppliers and it was back on the road.

 

I overfilled the axle oil as I thought lack of oil was the main cause because the bearings were dry.

 

Yes the drive flange is another place to look and this is the first step. This is more common on Sailsbury axles than the modern units. Still worth a look though. This one is more expensive as the half shafts should be replaced too...

Hi cod thanks mate can it go bangin there thanks Jon

 

No bang. If the bearings seize there's a grinding/screeching noise. If the half-shaft splines and drive hub wear so much the failure will most likely be at a X roads or T junction as you pull away, particularly if you're pulling a trailer. The noise then would be a rrrrrrrrr as the splines rotate in the hub..... Then you will have to put it into 4WD to get home.

 

My old 1993 110 is awaiting this repair. I'm still driving it carefully but I have the half-shafts and the drive hubs in a box ready, so they can be fitted as soon as I have a spare moment. At 96,000 miles this is the first change.
