Land Rover LR3 Rear Differential Bushing and Flange Tool 205-1033

This is an aftermarket version of the Jaguar Land Rover special service tool 205-1033 (also listed as 205-1033A and LR2051033). It is a hinged, two-piece clamp with an octagonal jaw that closes around the rear differential and locks with a bolt, plus a square drive hole on the arm so you can react against it or turn it with a breaker bar.

It is called for on the rear differential of the Discovery 3 / LR3 (2004-2009), Discovery 4 / LR4 (2009-2016), Range Rover Sport L320 (2005-2013), Range Rover L322 (2002-2012) and Defender L316 (2007-2016), and on Jaguar XF X250 (2008-2015), XJ X350/X351 (2003-2015) and S-Type X200 (1999-2008). Those rear diff mounting bushings are a known wear item on these trucks: once they split you get a clunk on takeoff and when shifting between drive and reverse, and the job goes much faster with the correct holding tool than trying to wedge a pry bar against the housing.

On the bench: open the hinge, set the jaw around the differential so the flats seat fully, close it and snug the clamp bolt, then use the square drive to hold or turn the assembly while the bushing or flange is serviced. The tool is forged carbon steel with a zinc finish and weighs just under 3 lb.
