LR Series 3 1982, 2.25.
With all of the prop shafts removed my transfer box won't turn by hand without a lot of resistance. I've been trying to turn it by hand by grabbing the hand brake housing and turning so I could set the brake up properly after fitting new shoes. When the rear output flange nut is lose, things turn but with a lot of resistance - is this normal?
If I tighten up the rear output flange then everything locks up tight and cannot be turned or even barred over, it locks solid. It is out of gear and I can shift the lever between low and high and even halfway between the two but nothing turns. This does not feel right
I have recently refitted everything after having had the transfer box out and the gearbox out to replace the clutch and engine rear main oil seal. I've also replaced the transfer box oil seals on each of the output flanges. I've had the handbrake plate off and replaced the shoes but I did not remove the speedo housing so not messed with any spacers. When we originally took the rear flange off, the nut was very loose and maybe this is why, maybe the previous owner could not tighten it up correctly and keep things moving freely?
I've not tried to go further as it feels like it is locked up so hard it would snap a gear or shaft if I turned the engine on and put it in gear and tried to move.
What might I have done wrong?
I'm a bit lost now as to whether this is "normal" or I've over tightened something?
Any ideas as to what might be wrong please. Thanks.
