I would do both sides. You are effectively rebuilding the swivel hubs and there will be a noticeable difference when driving.

Hi mate, I would use the Hi Temp grease for the wheel bearings and King Pin bearings. Pack all those using thrbgrease packer. Use the moly grease for the CV and pack this by hand.
Nah mate. Good to go. I have added updates and embedded them where they should be in the thread. Everything you need to know is here mate. Any dramas I'm here most days.
So I thought I would add these pics to this thread. Currently doing front wheel bearings only on the GUIV. I bought the bearings from the 4WD Shed off ebay. They came with a seal too.
The back...
Leave them as you found them if you can. But you are putting in new king pin bearings so the shims required could well be different now anyway.
I would leave the others as you find them and after...
Yeah that is a NO!!
Hi mate, why do you want to put the hub down further than that? you should be able to clean it out with a degreaser from there and then repack it without pulling it down further.
Note from this photo of my GU that Nissan changed from Horizontal to Vertical from GQ to GU. Learn something every day.

Just went out and grabbed some photos for you mate.

The steering stop bolt in on the front...
I fit them to the bottom as per the photo above but the swivel hub is sealed and there should be No Water ingress. If water gets in there then your stripping it out anyway for the contaminant.
As you can see in these pics the bolt pattern suggested in the image is clearly not correct either.
As you can see there though, it will only go 1 way.
That is interesting. Where did you get that pic?? If you refer to the first page you will see.the diagram I use is horizontal. Note also there is a pic clearly showing the back of the swivel hub with...
Yes i would think so. To be honest i always just check them by Hand and Feel and have been pretty happy to do it that way.
I have a also embedded the above post into post 5 of this thread where it should be in the process. Hope it helps gent.
Ok so i took these pics last year and thought i had uploaded them but did not.
Here are dome pics for removing the king pin bearings 2 different ways.
Option 1 needs a bearing removal clamp and...
Hi mate, If your struggling i would re-use the one you have mate. they are not really a wear item.
Yes but the CV must be taken out first. Once out your good to go. Then the Lip Seal removal tool featured in the first post is your best friend.
Gday mate. I just had a look at the diagram and you will be fine mate. Snap ring is fine unless you damage it. The l9ck washer is the same, only replace if you have killed it. It just bends over t9...
If you did have the 54mm nuts then can be undone with a hammer and screw driver or cold chisel. Not ideal and getting correct tension is not ideal and the locking nut will not be as affective hence...
Hi mate. Yes the GU patrol uses this system and it is a very good conversion for GQs too. The little grub screws can be a right pain and are a little soft when it's time to undo them but are much...
yeah i would replace all but the Offset King pin bearing. It has not done that much work and they are expensive.
All your questions are answered in the 1st post of the thread. You will be fine mate.
Thanks AB. This thread get a linked on Facebook all the time so it's great that it's back up again. Cheers for your effort mate
Cheers mate. Yes very disappointing. This was a
Quality thread that was well referenced. It is going to take some rebuilding damn it.
Surely that was the whole point of the site!!
