Holds the rear differential pinion flange on a 2006-on Land Rover Freelander 2 so you can remove and torque the pinion nut. Same job as JLR-205-984.
This is a two-piece pinion flange holding tool set for the rear drive unit on the Land Rover Freelander 2 (L359), 2006 and later. It is the aftermarket equivalent of the JLR-205-984 service tool. The set is a bi-hex holding socket welded to an offset arm with a reaction post, plus a separate splined socket with roughly a 3/4 in. drive.
On the bench or under the car: the bi-hex end of the holding tool fits over the flange so the arm and post can be braced and the flange cannot turn. The splined socket goes through it onto the pinion nut. Pair it with a torque wrench rated for at least 250 Nm, since the nut is tight coming off and has to go back to spec on reassembly.
Where you need it: rear pinion seal leaks, pinion flange replacement, and rear differential or bearing work on the Freelander 2 rear drive unit. The flange on this unit does not leave much to grab, and a pipe wrench or pry bar across it will mark the flange and slip. A fixture that keys to the flange lets you control the nut in small steps and get the reassembly torque right.
