I Have read a lot here on this site about Sheared axle studs on Landcruiser 75s rear axle,
well yep i did the whole 6 on my Troopie , lucky i was in Town so just went
home and fixed it , , phoned the suppliers in Brissy and they told me then that yeh people have had problems and said no solution has been heard of yet , I told
well i know of one ??? , I put it all back together with a new oil seal , loctited the threads Then carefully don 3 spot welds around the edge being carefull not to apply to much heat in one spot at a time so cooled each weld with water immediately, so far no problems but do have an 800w inverter so will carry an angle grinder just in case when going bush.Any more troubles and in goes an Air locker and leave the detroit in the front as it has been ok so far.
