DIY - NISSAN PATROL Swivel Hubs, Wheel Bearing, Brake Install 

Just a correction at the time line of 6:41 on your suggestion when finding the right shim size, The correct method is to use the thickest shim you have 1st, the reason for this is so when you torque the 4 bolts down you have not over loaded the bearings beyond the correct setting, I Have seen many bearings fail because people start with the thinner shim rather than the thicker one. It is a very simple thing but it saves any damage to the new bearings. Nice video and a fantastic job. My comment is only here to help others who are unaware and want to give it a go at home. Keep the vids coming

Hi, nice job. Looks like the project is off to a good start, i am interested in you're next steps so can't wait for the next episode. Cheers

Great information. I am about to do this on my 2 x Gqs so thank you for clarifying some of the finer points. Nice work.

Good clear video in great lighting mate. Always wanted to see what went on in there once you're deeper than the wheel bearings. Very informative.

It is amazing how similar it is to my Land Rover Defender’s setup. I did all four my wheel bearings a few weeks ago and it is almost identical, apart from the special hub nut. Good job and great video.

Thanks from Poland!

Awesome video mate. Super easy to follow along. Clear instructions and tips to help make things easy. Thanks

Great video mate i did this step by step along with you without trouble. I did put sealant behind stub axle, and i used just HTB in kingpins.(read from others.) time for a coldy now cheers.

You did a great job best I have seen on Instructions most don't go into depth like you did well done Mick:)

I wish I had this video couple years ago. The part about the swivel bearings would have been very helpful for me back then. Cheers Graham. I got change the clutch on my GQ 2.8 litre diesel. Not looking forward to doing it.

Thanks excellent tutorial.....Greetings from Colombia....

Thanks heaps for the tutorial on swivel hubs. It was my 1st time doing them and the video made it loud and clear. I'm stoked with my 1st rebuild Thanks mate. Frank.

Great work, I have always wanted to know how to do the swivel hubs!!! Thanks heaps

really informative video, thanks mate

Another Great How to do it yourself Video. Keep up the good work. Have been a subscriber for ages. When is the next trip Video coming up.

the one time I did wheel bearing to the 190nm spec thing they imploded after 50km of driving (brand new koyo japanese bearings) always set them with the tire on like you said by feel take it for a short drive and check by feel again never had a problem ever again.

Top walk through 🤟

Doing mine soon when parts arrive. Thank you so much for this well done video. Only thing I dont have a press. I am hoping the normal using a socket on edges will work.

REALLY GOOD TIP GUYS!! please have multiple of those bearing tools! Dosnt matter the brand because I tightened mine which was good but snapped when I went to loosen them! I thought it would be okay for the bearnings as long as I didn't drop the car on them tight but overnight it still destroyed the bearings 😢. Such a stupid tool (Another tip. If you break the tool at the pin.....drill it out with a 7.5mm drill bit and use the drill bit!) 😉👍🏼

Hey mate. Good video. Just so u know, u got the wiper seal on back of hub backwards. 👍

Hey mate new to sfa got a gu so I'll definitely be referring to this video when my time comes to do this, just a quick one what's the manual called that you kept referring to and would i get one ?

My bearings came with a washer that would normally sit infront of the outer bearing before putting the locking rings on. Did you use it or was that not shown?

Buddy plz upload super safari front axil boot and axil remove and installation tutorial please

Looking good! Quick question, no gasket or sealant on the stub axle at the 14 min mark? Also, no thread lock on the stub axle bolts, or any other mission critical hardware given the hardware is used and the spring washers might not be as effective as new?

I’m just about to do this job to my td42 gu, what exact cv grease did you use? Also do you have a video on how you took out the old races for the bearings

The Bendix brake kit is great, my GU stops a lot quicker with it.

Yayy!

Looks good to me something I would not tackle. Regards vk5cz ..

10:20 rotating force of knuckle flange check , this must be made without installing grease seal and axle shaft Thanks for the wonderful video

My hub tool just broke trying to torque the hub nut. 😢

@SIDETRACKED what manual locking hubs are you running? The hub drive gear looks pretty beefy

I am struggling with my GU 4.2L before when all the parts are broken 😂

"Should" be moly grease in the kingpin bearings. but I say that loosely :D

ciao grazie per il filmato, potresti dare i kg della torsione della bilancia,sia dei cuscinetti che del mozzo, putroppo non capisco cosa dici e non parlo inglese

Am i the only one that counts the uga dugas for accurate torque settings 😃

You put the wiper seals wrong. Metal should be first from the wheel to the diff

Someone might of mentioned it but backing plate not refitted

I think you missed a seal too

hope to have a talk sir , dm
