Snip.........and did you torque the nut up correctly ie not too tight
Bloody Loose actually! After Tightening to bed and spinning the wheel a few times in each direction to bed the bearing and sort out the grease then completely undo the nut and tighten with your fingers only! 17ft/lb Not very tight
Make sure you sue your lock nut after

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
yeh packed the bearings with grease Yukky job give it to you guys any day! It was someone helping who did the lock nuts so I'm not sure how tight they did them, although they weren't tight when I undid them. Question? how do you know if the bearings have had it now? We also used the wrong grease on that side, so I think that contributed to the problem. Should I change all the bearings again?
Thanks for helping!

so it turns out, that the grease was ok, so I am guessing that it must be something to do with the lock nut! So another question: How much grease do you use inside and on the outside of the trunnion socket? Many thanks in advance
