2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Buckingham BlueDiscovery 3

Remove road wheel ands secure vehicle on axle stand
Undo large nut in centre of hub
Remover brake caliper and pads.
Remove pads carrier
Remove brake disc.
For security remove ABS sensor and placve well out of way
On the rear of the hub assembly there are 4 botls that hold hub to knuckle - undo all four bolts and then tap ( hard) the hub away from the knuckle. This may take some effort as the hub will be tight on the knuckle and on the drive shaft.
Wkps manual suggests using a special tool to push drive shaft into the hub but I have found that with lots of wd40 and some ( heavy ) tapping, they usually come free.

Re assemble the whole lot but remember to make sure the centre hub nut is do up well

IIRC, caliper carrier bolts are 275Nm, hub nut is 240Nm, and wheel nuts are 140-145Nm Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

In the July issue of Land Rover Owner international there is a step by step guide for this - with pictures. it refers to the fitting of a new driveshaft nut tightened to 230Nm.

If you want me to scan it and e-mail it to you, pm me.
