With the drive flanges back on there isn't a whole lot of free play - some but not much.  I suspect new ones will be tight but I'm going to say this not the majority of the slack.

Hmm OK, so now I'm up against a bit of  of a challenge. It's looking like a 52
mm socket to get the hub nut off.  I'm seeing these on the Landy sites but does anyone know of a local Calgary supplier?

Slide the drive flanges back on. Be careful not to push the CVs in as they can fall off the spindles.

Rotate them back and forth and see how much free play there is between the two parts. When new, there should be no play.

Confirmed, rears are one piece

Yes. Those are the right ones and a good choice.

The rear axles would not have flanges if they are original. They should have one piece halfshafts with integral flanges.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the drive flanges.  I'll start there.

Are the HD Ashcroft ones the best bet? P/N 859 (Land Rover part number FTC859 which supercedes to RUC105200)

Will these work with the NAS alloy wheels?

Are the flanges the same front and read?  I'm thinking I might as well do all four corners.
