Replacement of axle was okay. Hardest part was before getting there. ABS sensor was very hard to come off. They are very long and stuck in the knuckle very hard. You need to pull it hard. ABS sensor is damaged during installation and needs to be replaced. Somehow, my G is now showing "brake distribution" error. I don't know why. Maybe this is due to damaged ABS sensor. Has anyone seen this error?? Here's the parts that I ordered: A460 330 40 01 Drive shaft Left Front Axle Joint A460 330 41 01 Right A015 997 01 47 Seal Ring Sealing of Drive shaft bearing A009 981 41 05 Tapered Roller Bearing Inside A009 981 48 05 Tapered Roller Bearing Outside A015 997 79 47 Seal Ring Outside A463 334 01 59 SealRing Wheel Hub A463 334 00 19 Protective Ring Wheel Hub A460 331 05 58 Seal Holder inside A460 331 01 80 Gasket Inside A460 331 00 80 Gasket Outside A460 331 03 58 Seal Holder Outside A460 997 00 40 Seal Ring Kingpin A000 981 59 05 Tapered Roller Bearing Steering knuckle top and bottom A460 332 00 33 Expansion Plug Kingpin Parts that I didn't order but wish I did: The seal in the axle tube that I circled in red Lock washer ABS Sensor (P10000700001.jpg) (P10000790003.jpg) (P10000840004.jpg) (P10000900005.jpg) (P10000930006.jpg) Attachments ----------------  P10000700001.jpg (344KB - 7 downloads) P10000790003.jpg (284KB - 7 downloads) P10000840004.jpg (213KB - 11 downloads) P10000900005.jpg (135KB - 8 downloads) P10000930006.jpg (275KB - 7 downloads) | |

Lots and lots of grease. It looks like you definitely did serious damage to the CV joint, too. My guess is that the error is probably due to the ABS sensor being damaged. It will probably go away once that is fixed. Thanks for the memories!  | |

Using a double cardon joint, which is common practice when lifting the suspension, very common on TD5 Landrovers. The DC's joint he buys are from Bailey Morris. More information the better, what ever the source.  | |

Am I correct in saying the cv and shafts have not changed in strength for a 91 463 300 petrol to the present day G500 with twice as much hp and torque ?. I would try and train yourself by not using the front locker unless in a straight line. The quickest I have seen a cv done on site is 2 hrs. a landrover, 10 minutes. I was trying to climb wet rocky hill, steered little bit, steeping on gas about 1/5, moving at walking speed, and hit bump and hopped. When landed, CV failed. Not sure if CVs are same strength. Part number starts with 460. So, I would guess they are the same... When climbing, usually front CVs don't get too much weight and stress. So, I thought it's okay but NOT...  2 hours to replace seems very good! Yasu | |

But LR people get a lot of practice because they can break them in ten minutes. | |
