Hey all,
My transmission oil cooler hoses started leaking enough to puddle on the garage floor so I decided to change them. I was hoping that I would not, in fact, have to drop the subframe but no such luck. I dropped the subframe, cleaned and painted it where needed, and of course changed the transmission cooler lines. Everything is back together except for the subframe bolts. Turns out that four special alignment bolts/pins (part #502-005) are needed to correctly align the subframe. No problem, only $55 dollars EACH! Does anyone have any of these "special tools" that I can buy/rent? I've searched the web and only found new ones from Jaguar Land Rover Tooling. I would be very grateful.

You will have to factor in their freight charges. But If you just google the number (for example: 45K1070) for each you may find better prices.

 

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your response. The alignment bolts I am looking for are actually bolts that are initially used to align the subframe to the unit body: https://jlrequipment.service-solutio...px?SKU=502-005 After reading the workshop manual again, it appears I may only need 1 unit (two bolts). If so I guess I can swing the $55 for the alignment bolts. Ill have to call and find out.
