Experience
Experience Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
Question the driver axel is leaking,how much is a seal,how long is the process?how much?is there special tool required.thanks for your time
Answer Hi Robert,
Do you mean the front driver side axle oil seal? You'd have to wheel, the brake caliper, the hub assembly from steering knuckle, remove the hub and driveshaft, remove the old seal. You'll need a special tool to insert new oil seal to axle casing.
I'm not sure what the dealer would charge but labour is usually $100/hr or more (maybe 4 hours). For the seal, you can try Atlantic British for the oil seal or perhaps Autoparts Warehouse - both are online.
Best of luck,
JohnMc
NB: send me an email and I'll send you the techsheet on how to do this.
