Great vid, a quick mention on the "silicone" we prefer to use gasket sealer. We have found, at least here in Africa, with loads of water crossing the "paper" gaskets seem to seep. And looking at the state of you, they looked quite good. So maybe it was gasket sealer. Top tip. keep them well sealed and well-greased. That will extend the life of the shafts and members.
Tyler, my Rover mechanic uses hylomer on that gasket. Also, i've noticed those flange bolts come loose on me before, especially if they get diff fluid on the threads, so I add a small amount of blue thread lock to them. Time to get the big momma crescent wrench! : )
What I've never understood is why hasn't a company like Terrafirma made a different stud plate so that Defenders could accept numerous wheels without a stud adaptor?
hi mate
you get de rubber seal on the wrong place .you have to put the seal over the treats

What wheels are those? I've been looking for something like them.
