HOW TO TAKE AXLE OFF SERIES I (1st step)

It’s a seriously heavy job getting an axle off a Land Rover. Let’s deal with the front first that’s much heavier than the rear because of all the ironmongery associated with the swivels and steering. I wouldn’t even think about taking this off to save a bit of money.

Anyway, it’s simply not necessary the process is the same for a Series III and the parts can be soured through regular motor factors. It’s normal job for your garage. Here’s how you remove the rear axle. Drain the oil, jack up the rear of the Land Rover until the wheels are just clear of the floor and support it securely with a good sized stand under each chassis longitudinal. Check that the vehicle can’t move, rock or tip.
