Disco 2 front ball joint replacement
« on: February 10, 2014, 10:07:02 PM »
Hi,

Has anybody replaced discovery 2 front upper and lower ball joints?

The ball joints are press fit type and require a LR tool to remove and fit.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

Just finished changing my discovery 2 ball joints. Not an easy job.

You need a torque bar set at 480NM, bearing service kit to push out bearing and a good 3/4" socket set just to start with.
