thanks, these articles look great...

ok, it looks like I'll need to order the parts and get at it... thanks

I just noticed that the passenger side swivel ball is starting to leak bad enough to drip, so... I guess I have that project to look forward to. Are there any good online resources on rebuilding? It might be time to invest in the shop manuals.. Does it require any special tools? Is the best bet...

I have a leak somewhere on the passenger side rear end. I've assumed it was the rear caliper because the caliper is really wet. But, I've replaced the rear caliper twice and it's still leaking. I'm now skeptical it's the caliper. The symptom is that the inner brake pad is very wet. The caliper...

I just did this job... I should not have bought an automatic to make my wife happy... with a 5-speed, it's just drain and fill, not filter, etc... Also, why can't an automatic transmission have an external canister filter so you don't have to drop the pan to change the filter. Seems pretty dumb...

I can reach (ok, touch) them from the bottom, but you're saying to remove the coil pack and reach them from the top? I'll have a look at that... On these, you definitely have to remove them from the tab... the O2 side of the plug is what is attached from the plug, so even if you can unplug...

'97 Disco 1 I was trying to replace the front oxygen sensors this weekend and came the conclusion that disconnecting them is darn near impossible. Any great ideas? I can reach my hand to the top of the transmission and feel the connector, but I can't seem to get the plug to release from the...

I would definitely remove the whole sunroof mechanism... I would try and find a different headliner, but I could probably fix the one I have to not be so obvious... since I need to recover it anyway. I don't want to just seal the sunroofs since I want to get rid of the heat gain through the...

Has anyone sealed the sunroofs on a disco 1? What's a ball park to have sheet metal welded in for the roofs? I'd have to figure out the interior trim, then as well. I need to redo the headliner, so I would have to figure out how to cover over the sunroof holes in the headliner. As far as...

Depending on the cost for the bearings.... I'd rather replace them while I have the rear end apart, rather than have to redo everything I'm doing in 6 months (or whatever time frame they decide to fail in). If they are expensive, and still look good, I'll leave them.

Thanks... I'll try that tonight. Also, on the rear seal replacement job... of the tools listed in the shop manual. which ones do I really need to replace the seals, bearings and races? I have a race driver set, but I assume I need something to pull the races. thanks. John S.

any good articles on the procedure? What all parts I need, etc. with 150k miles, I should probably replace the bearings.

I recently replaced the rear calipers/pads on my D1 (several hundred miles ago).... I just noticed fluid on the inside of the rear tires, so I took the wheels off to see what was up. I went in assuming that it wasn't brake fluid, but now I'm not so sure. The fluid seems to mainly on the...

Thanks... I'll give that a try...

This has happened about 3 times to me.... so, it's probably time to do something... The ignition switch will not turn, I jiggle it, pull it in or out very slightly, etc, eventually I can get it to work and then it is fine, of course until the next time. It feels like the steering lock is...

no lock from the rear door?

I need to replace the rear calipers on my '97 disco (They are leaking). Anyway, do I just use a normal 12 point socket for those bolts? They look like they need a special socket...

I'm starting to get a code that the catalytic converter is going bad (I forget the number)... anyway, after 150k miles, I guess it's time to replace them... Where are some places to get the whole Y-pipe, etc. I'm also considering having just the cat's replaced with aftermarket. Any good...

so you ran speaker wires from the new headunit down to the kick panel and connected up to the speakers there? (as opposed to running new wires from the head all the way to the speakers). Also, is there anything fancy with the connection to the woofer amp? Is it just line level coming in? Does...

Does anyone have a good wiring diagram/description (component locations, etc) of the radio? I want to replace the head unit (tape player no longer works, cd player doesn't work), but since it has an external amp, I want to see what I need to do to bypass it, etc without rewiring the whole truck...
