Front Differential Bearing Replacement Gone Wrong.
So I had a spare Differential laying around that needed bearings. Searched and found most of the bearings on ebay and such. Put them in the differential unfortunately got the pinion bearing pre-load incorrect. It locked up on the way home from work.

I didn't have a spec and had to use the old crush sleeve. I marked the pinion nut and reinstalled back to same spot.Land Rover Master Guild Technician.
