Land Rover How-To submitted by Dave on 07 Mar 2010
Greg Davis provides tips and info on how to replace a CDL lever on a Land Rover Discovery, series 2.
He starts:
My CDL is very basic. Nothing glamorous. Probably similar to what Adam Skerritt on the DII list is doing, but I've never seen his kit so I'm just guessing.
The CDL shaft on top of the x-fer box is not in a straight line to be able to run a shaft straight up into the cab. You need to make a couple of bends. I looked everywhere for small u-joints to allow this. I used to be into RC cars, but couldn't find small u-joints any more.
Working in my garage one day I looked in my drawer and saw my flexible extension for my sockets. Perfect!
To make a long story short, I made a small bracket that fits onto the top of the shaft. You will need to hand file this as it has a unique shape. It's a shaft w/ flats on two sides. Not hard, just tedious. Once this is done, an 8mm nut will secure the bracket onto the shaft.
