1. Di
sconnect the battery ground lead
2. Raise the vehicle for access

3. NO
TE: In the wheel-free condition, the axle is in tension and
the flanges will separate as the nuts are withdrawn
Release the axle shaft
1. Match mark the output an d axle shaft flanges (if the
output shaft is to be re-used)
2. Remove and discard the (4) nuts axle shaft to differential output shaft
3. Remove and keep safe the camber shim
4. T
horoughly clean the area around the output shaft housing and
differential case

5. Relea
se the circlip and withdraw the output shaft assembly
6. Prepare the retaining collar for removal

In
stallation

1.
Mark the bearing retaining collar axially
6. CAUTION: Do not drill into the output shaft, it is
not necessary to break the inside diameter of the collar
2. Drill 3 off holes 4,0 mm dia equally spaced, to a MAXIMUM depth of 5,0 mm

7. Re
move the retaining collar
7. CAUTION: There is no need to split the collar
when chiselling
W i
th a suitable chisel strike
the collar across the three
drilled holes (along the axis of the output shaft) to relieve
tension within the steel
8. CAUTIO
N: The original bearing must NOT be reused
Using a suitable press remove an d discard the bearing, collar
and circlip
1. Ins
pect the output shaft for da
mage and corrosion, replace as
necessary

2. Id
entify the circlip cross section
1. This circlip is correct
2. This circlip MUST be di scarded and the correct one
used
3. Fit the bearing using special tool 204 - 083
1. Position a new circlip
2. Locate the bearing
3. Locate the collar
• NOTE: It is strongly reco mmended that a press equipped
with a pressure gauge is us ed, the assembly load MUST
exceed 20Kn

4.
Press the assembly

4. Fi
t the output shaft assembly to the final drive
Lubri

cate the 'O' ring and
seat the shaft assembly
Secu
re the assembly with the circlip

5. Ensure the correct circli
p location
U

sing a prybar, or similar, expand the circlip into its
undercut by applying outwar d radial pressure. Start
diametrically opposite to the circlip open ends and lever
against the drive flange
6. Verify the circlip location
1. The gap MUST be greater than 10,0 mm

6.
CAUTIO
N: If the gap CANNOT be achieved,
contact Jaguar Service
2. A gap smaller than specified will indicate an improperly fitted circlip. This may be rectified by
refitting or by the application of radial pressure
around the inner circum ference of the circlip
7. Verify t
hat the output shaft end-float is within specification

8. Re
fer to the illustration
If
app
ropriate realign the pr
eviously made match marks
9. Check the final drive oil level and adjust as required
10. Check and adjust rear wheel camber setting

1. Di
sconnect the battery ground lead.
2. Raise the vehicle for access.

3. Disconnect the main parking br ake c
able at the compensator.
4. Release the parking brake relay lever mounting bracket and
allow the assembly to hang down.
R
emove the fixings (4).

5. Disconne
ct the driveshaft fr
om the differential flange.
5. CAUTION: Under no circumstances must the
flexible coupling (or its fixings) be loosened or removed
from the drive shaft.
1. 'Match mark' the FLEX IBLE COUPLING to the
differential DRIVE FLANGE.
2. Remove the fixings (3).
6. Support the d
riveshaft, do not allow it to hang.

7. Re
move the fixings (2) center
bearing to mounting bracket and
push the drive shaft rear sectio n forward to disengage from the
pinion spigot.

8. Remove the drive flange pinion nu
t.
1. Using a suitable tool, re lieve the staked portion from
the pinion keyway.
2. Remove the pinion nut using a suitable socket and tool 205 - 053 to resist rotation.
9. Remove the drive flange assembly.
1. Use tool 205-272 (puller) to remove the drive flange / seal assembly.

1. Installation is the re verse of the removal procedure, noting the
following;
2. Lightly lubricate the seal O/D.

3. Chec

E

nsure that the seal, Ryton
ring and backing are aligned
and in contact with each other.
4. NOTE: Correct pinion seal location is automatic.
`Pull' the pinion flan ge / seal assembly down with the pinion
nut - do not hammer the flange.
