I know it's only a few minutes into the video and you're on the other side of the world, but "I can't believe it's been a whole year since I didn't sweep up leaves last year" is some extremely relatable content. Thank you for this as always.

Given the state of this vehicle prior to you having a tussle with it, that it failed on only those two - largely insignificant factors, is impressive. Nice work!
-
between the backward hub seal, and the oil seal just falling out, it's just... ahhhhhh. beautiful.
-
Six monthly checks!!! That crazy. Nice to see you back at it. 😊
-
Just the best YouTube Land Rover content there is, really!
-
Good to see your videos again. I have found that a large number of axles leaks on coil sprung land rovers are from the vent on the axle being plugged. I always remove them, clean the metal banjo bolt, and blow through the vent tube line. I have even found in most cases when it’s the pinion seal, that fixes it and the leak stops.

Masterclass in bearing replacement. Only additional suggestion is to lightly grease the splines on the half shaft before reinserting it to provide a little less chance of them damaging the oil seal if they touch. IF they touch, I did note how much care you took in shoving it back in. Best vids on YT, cheers, Will

Spent a fortune and loads of time fixing hub seal leaks on my defender, I feel your pain. Nice video.
-
Any YT with Land Rover in the title I will watch, as i worked at the Solihull factory in the 1960s. Your score 10/10 . Cheers.

Excellent content and Intermittent reversing lights. Always enjoyable.
-
You owe the previous owner a big debt of gratitude. Without his ineptitude, think of how much less content you would have had! 😂 Also, I am impressed that the bearings weren’t ground into paste with one seal installed backwards and the other seal not installed at all.
-
Love the vid - and clearest demo I have yet seen about how to set up the hub and bearings
-
"Everybody glues these things together..." aaaaannd my cuppa tea is all over my keyboard! Not even 5 mins in!
-
I would also change your diff oil, because when wheel bearing grease has mixed with it, it reduces the dampening effect of the oil between the gears and can accelerate wear.
-
The previous guy used all the loctite. The next one used all the grease. 😀
-
6 months inspections? Weird.
-
I have been known to bend the lockwasher tab down onto the inside hub nut once pre load is set and then install the locknut (and bend the lock washer outwards). This often, though not always, prevents the hub nut from moving when installing the locknut.
-
the answer is much less grease than people realise. high temp no melt no shear modern greases provide the answer. grease extra to the bearing surface just sits there. a layer over the inner housing surface does stop rust. loctite 518 or 515 . rtv generally requires a thicker film thickness than two facing machined surfaces need.

Don't forget to paint your sockets black to make them impact sockets 🤣
