Has anyone when fitting 235/85 16 tyres changed the speedo drive? there seems to be 4 different variants with part numbers from frc3310-frc3313 they all have different colours and number of teeth. what is the correct one for this size of tyre on 98 discovery S1?
When removing said drive is it necessary to drain the transfer box oil?
How difficult is it to remove?
Hope someone can help.

Easy to remove, no need to change fluids...

Remove the VSS. Use a screwdriver to pry the housing out of the transfer case (what you should see is a 3/16" flat lip that surrounds the opening where the VSS coneects to the drive gear). Do not attempt to pull the speedo-drive out without removing the housing. The drive-gear is surrounded and supported by the housing, so remove that first and the drive-gear should come right out.

Sorry, I don't know which gear is the correct one. Give Marty a call at British Pacific and he will likely be able to help you.
