i don't have the carrier bearing for the back yet still waiting on them so starting with the front.
i'll try and do it step by step and in newby terms so anyone can follow and do it them self.
however i do have a full work shop and rebuild motors and do conversions so you may need some special tool, eg. press, bearing puller etc.

I'm sure there'll be a few watching this with interest.
2011 GU8 ST 3.0 CRD, ARB Bullbar with IPF spotties, scrub bars and side steps, Snorkel, Dual Battery system, Waeco fridge, Turbo Timer, ARB Roof Rack with 5 IPF spotties across the front, Custom full Leather Bucket seats, DPchip, 3" Taipan exhaust, ARE Intercooler & scoop, Autron EGT/Boost and dual volt gauges, ARB front locker.
ok remove the wheel and mark your hubs with a centre punch so you can put them back with the orientation and also using your centre punch put a little L and R on the left and right free wheeling hub respectively free wheeling hub bolts.jpg
remove the free wheeling hub bolts with an allen key caliper 1.jpg
remove the brake caliper caliper2.jpg wire up caliper.jpg
and wire it up safe and sound DO NOT JUST LET IT HANG BY THE FLEXIBLE you will damage the line and it will split when your on the high way and you will die!!!!! look what found.jpg
look what i found .... thats what happens when you travel around australia with 2 ton on the tow ball and do a few runs throw the desert, i'm up for new brake discs curclip.jpg
there is a circlip in here you need to remove drive cliutch 1.jpg
then you can remove the drive clutch 52 mm nut.jpg
you need to undo this nut with a 53 mm socket or a small chisel or screw driver and lightly tap it around they are not especially tight but there is a retaining washer behind it. so your a lead light to look for the little tabs and bend them back first. GU patrol ones are slightly different. tricky to remove.jpg
this is the little retaining washer it can be a bit tricking to remove but you have gotten this far you will work it out ... use a little magnet on a stick thingy or do what i do as you can see in the pic. but wait theres more.jpg
but wait there more .... YOU GET A SECOND BEARING RETAINING NUT FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!!! disk off.jpg
slip the disk of and your left just with the stub axle like so remove brake guard bolt.jpg
these bolts hold in place the brake shield and the stub axle tap tap.jpg
very lightly just tap tap tap here until the stub axle moves away from the cv housing (cv = constant verlocity) DO NOT TAP ON THE MACHINED PARTS OF THE STUB AXLE YOU WILL WRECK IT. axle out 1.jpg
remove the stub axle and your just left with the axle axle out2.jpg
you only need to pop it out a little and leave it sitting in the housing

Reason: Language. Sorry mate. Family friendly. Google hates it too ;)
ok second axle is out i just relised that i neglected to mention one of the first things you need to do is empty the diff oil use a breaker bar with an half inch drive to undo to bung in the bottom of the diff
inspect everything as u go for wear and replace bearing if they have not been done. i did mine when i put my first locker in the front that i am now removing so i an not doing mine but i will still be putting everything thro the parts cleaner and re-packing it with grease.
if you don't have a parts sleaner use those little cans of cheap stuff from supershit and a couple bags of rags and a tooth brush.
i am also planning on cleaning up my diff housings and rust using rust converter and coating them in chassis paint. i'm approaching the end of a worked 6.2 ltr chevy conversion for this thing so i'm going all the way because it's going to be coping some serious torque.i call it the chevtrol ... its going to be unstoppable!!!!

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.
