defender 200tdi 90 diff to axle nut size
« on: June 11, 2011, 07:47:42 PM »
can anyone help me as to what size these nuts are please. I need to get a new set before I attempt to replace the diff gasket. Is it 3/8 UNF? Or does anyone have a spare I could borrow to get new ones. Many thanks to all for the help.

Hello Scott,
                 3/8 unf thread is right enough,use a good 9/16 AF socket,just make sure all dirt is cleared from where the diff casing surrounds the nut to allow the socket to engage the full depth of the nut,rounding it off becomes a pain,as is shearing a stud. Where are you,I have plenty nuts and gaskets,Lochgelly Fife. Colin.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation of nut size. I live in cobbler cottage, Arrochar, G83 7AD. Argyll. I will be on Sandys GRR today. Will you be there? If so I am driving an H reg 200tdi 90.I have tried to get sockets and spanners on them and heed your advice. I will be cleaning them up for a week before I start the job WD40 and wire brush were I can. Many thanks.

Scott
