Well, as far as i know landrover never fitted any other sort other than the big comma shaped versions,  that's not to say that without a suitable amount of determination and ingenuity you couldn't fit something else, but I would be tempted to ask why you'd want to.

You can get replacement units, you have to break the cam lobe off on the old one then remove the assembly.


Are these what you are looking for?

I'm pretty sure the kit is for all 4 wheels, I remember changing all of mine on the l/w a couple of years ago, not a hard job, worth checking on the condition of the other parts in the drum first though, shoes, springs, slave cylinders etc

You may need more than you think :wink:
