True, but surely the internals can be changed in such a way that it can handle it. Didn't the disco just use the rover axle anyway, which came before the Salisbury axle?

The rating includes the axle casing itself as well as the internals. Regardless though, a Discovery axle won't physically fit as the spring mounts are different. 110 rear springs are bigger than those on a 90 or Discovery. Darren

In that case I'm pretty much f*cked then, as I've got a Salisbury diff that whines like a b🖕tch and can't find a replacement for it and even if I did, no-one wants to work on them. I can't get a hold of a later model 110/130 axle to convert it into and I'm out of ideas.
Anyone have any suggestions or shall we have a 110 BBQ 😡 |

It’s only the spring seats which are different, and they bolt on. So the Disco axle can be made to physically fit. Why not just replace the Salisbury with another of the same? Any age 110 Salisbury will do as you can swap over all the end gubbins (brakes etc.) from yours, so long as yours has the bolt-on caliper brackets and not the welded on type. Even if you have the latter you can still buy the brackets separately. At least 3 or 4 Salisbury axles on eBay. |

All the Salisbury axle that came up when I search are the drum brake variety, would that not be an issue?

If you need diffs rebuilding excess 4x4 have a good rep. A decent local independent shouldn’t have any issue in fitting

Diff and axle casing is basically the same, so no. If yours has the bolt-on caliper brackets (pick up on four of the stub axle bolts) then it's a straight swap over of everything except the diff & casing itself. If your current axle is late enough to have welded-on brackets then you'll just need to buy a pair to bolt on to the drum braked axle. |

No locals to me have got the diff spreading tool for the Salisbury axle. |

Interesting that the approved method is now to squeeze the axle vertically with LRT-51-503 rather than to use the earlier lateral spreading tool. It seems to me firstly that this revised method is inherently safer since you will no longer have the problem of the holes for the spreader lugs or pins being corroded, damaged, or full of rust, with the consequent risk of the tool popping off, and secondly that the vertical squeeze tool is incredibly simple to improvise if you don't have £343 that you don't know what to do with.

How much does the sides need to be spread by in order to get the diff out?

I've got a complete axle with diff spare (off a 300Tdi 110). Just pinged you a PM. Ed
