Easter break

Post by Braudy »

Went to landcruiser park over easter and some how , managed to twist the front driveshaft off the diff . 3/4 the way up telecom hill of all places .

Any ideas on how it happened and how to stop it doing it again .

Thats not to bad there from what I remember.

I'd say you have fractured it somewhere else and that just happened to be where it finally broke. Actually, I wonder if the pinion nut has been rattled up too tight.

I think it was just bad luck, they don't usually break there.

I saw this on the weekend as well.

Pulled the pinion flange out, without un-doing the nut from the tailshaft.

The one i saw was nroken in easy conditions, most likely fractured before as per slunnies post.
