We begin refurbishing parts to go back on our Range Rover chassis once it’s ready. Having stripped the Rot-Rover bare, the exciting part of the process is about to begin. The first job is to strip down and examine the axles and differentials for excess wear and tear. Will there be anything worth salvaging?

Edd China’s Workshop Diaries Episode 48 – Stripping and Checking the Range Rover axles.

  1. Guess I'll unsubscribe didn't know this channel is bought and paid for by a all red tool company that's wholly owned by ccp

  2. The owner of this thing obviously did not take care of it back then. What makes you think he will in future? I still find the video entertaining. Watching Edd do his thing has always been fun.

  3. Had to do this to my rear jeep axle Dana 35. new seals and went ahead with new bearings as well.

  4. You should remove the fill plug so the oild doesn't chug out.
    Did you use a torque stick to undo the bolts on the rear axle?

  5. When Edd left the show so did I, as I didn't think ant was even half as good as Edd on a lot of things.

  6. Really enjoyed this epidode. Took a few goes to stop the video on the flash shim comment. though…….

  7. How have they got the nerve to call them quality parts for Land-Rovers! mostly they don't fit and if they do they don't function properly.

  8. To check the half shafts correctly one should crack detect the wear step on the splines which is where a fatique crack starts—- this is what causes them to fail.

  9. The pinion bearing shims have worn to allow the pinion to move out of engagement with the crown wheel hence the increased backlash.

  10. If I were you ED, I would check the new diffs with engineers blue on the pinion & crown wheel teeth to see that they mesh correctly & that there are no tight spots. Do a hardness check on the teeth too.

  11. Great. Back to the old Ed formula. Plodding through a viewer applicable job. Much better than the novelty shows of Mini bikes and coffee chats etc IMHO.

  12. Very interesting, ive never had to repair a land rover axle despite having been a mechanic for over 20 years, i always did wonder how the swivel joints worked.

  13. Hi Edd. Stupid Q from a complete novice. Do all cars have swivel joints on the front wheels for steering or is that unique to Land Rover? I was shocked to see a swivel joint – I wasn’t expecting to see that. Cheers, Gaffers

  14. I know time moves on. Edd and Mike had a magic persona . That was good to watch Wheeler dealers. I don't bother to watch Wheeler dealers anymore, the magic has gone.

  15. What is happening to your show it’s all over the place, no consistency come on Edd people are interested? You started with something get on with it.

  16. reminds me of pulling the front beam apart on my p76 after breaking a pinion gear in half makes me sad i no longer have it man they are good off road

  17. When translating to the Dutch language! Seal is pakking, zeehond is wrong translation. Right is right. Not rechts. Right and left is rechts and links. But Right as in oke is even by us right. And i love your shows. And i hope the Land Rover will be fully restored.

  18. Eres el 1 Edad !

  19. As a WD viewer from Arizona for 20 years, I am continually amazed at the state of "bits under the bonnet" and the condition of the frame and drive train. It's as though all vehicles are required to bash through a half mile of surf on Brighton Beach en route to and from annual MOT inspections. I know it rains in the UK but, hokey smokes, hasn't anyone thought of better corrosion control methods? OK, so this tub is well over 30 years of age and has had a hard life as a part time submarine… I hope the owner's piggy bank is full to the brim. This here is what we call a "pro-ject."

  20. Land Rovers and I think are the same as the Range Rovers are notorious for braking the axels off road so I would replace the axels with a Crome molly axels.

  21. Personally I preferred the previous intro with the musical hammering – but that's just me. 😁
