      No problem. Thanks for watching. The front wheels on the John Deere are smaller than the rear wheels, so if you're on hard ground in 4 wheel drive the front diff winds up. That seems to be what causes the problem.

    I've just had this exact problem on my CLS320, tyre fitter for the previous owner has buzzed all the nuts on to a ridiculous degree, it took all 16 stone of me on the end of a 3ft bar to crack the hex bolts loose so obviously the locking nut snapped just like yours. I've got hold of a new key but not sure how I'm going to get this locking nut out! I've got some reverse thread female stud extractors coming so hopefull they work...

    • @61special
      @61special 2 місяці тому

      @stevendcruze7395 I don't understand why mine were so tight, I put them on myself and I never overtighten them. If they needed to be so tight the car manufacturers would supply a longer wheelbrace. The best way to get them off is to split the outer ring with a good quality sharp steel chisel then use the stud extractor. Hope that helps.

    • @61special

      @lifeoftreedom, thanks for the comment. One of the reasons for the channel is to help others to do some of these jobs themselves. I'm not trained in anything, and still make plenty of mistakes , but if I can do it, then so can you. I was born and raised in County Durham, but my fatha was born in Blyth, so I've probably got a bit of a hotchpotch of dialects in there...mixed with a lot of mumbling. Stay safe in the treetops and good luck with your channel.

      Yes, it is an 8 speed. It was jumping gears. There were quite a lot of bits of metal in the filter. For the price of a second hand box it wasn't worth the hassle of finding out what the problem was. We got the box from the same people that we got the engine from and they're pretty reliable.

      Hi Jamie Boyd Music. I hope all goes well for you. It was our first time taking the body off and it was below freezing, which didn't help. It's not that difficult to take the body off, providing you have a lift. Our donor engine was out of a Jaguar so there was quite a lot of work swapping all the ancillaries over. Good luck.

    • @jamieboydmusic6956
      @jamieboydmusic6956 Рік тому

      Same as you I used a Ford Territory Engine so there was a lot of swapping over. All went well. The hardest part was getting the first couple of transmission bolts on and making sure we didn’t jam up the torque converter. Once that happened. I fitted the driver side engine mount (generator/alternator side) and it was pretty easy from there. The heat shields under the front guards caused a bit of anxiety. LOL I am a month or so down the track now and just towed a 2.5T Caravan 120km 2 days ago and it pulled like a train. Love my Discovery!
