    Just done my front right wheel before. From jacking up the car, to jacking down the car, it literally took 10 minutes thanks to this write up!
    Few points of interest I found though. Those blood Phillipshead screws are so soft... Very very easy to strip. Gotta be careful.
    And ...
    I also found oil where my screw driver is pointing. Very little, but to me it's oil not grease. Inner axle seals ??? @MudRunnerTD

    @Hodge hi Eric, nah looks normal mate. That's right on your wheel bearings so that will just be bearing grease.

    Yes those bloody screws are soft!!!

    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.

    Thanks Darren. Also, mine tightened up exactly one locking ring hole space. Was enough to take out the full slop of the wheel from 12 to 6.
    I only done it hand tight with a very firm two-hand grip on that adjustment tool. I didn't put a half inch ratchet onto it or anything. Should be alright ?

    @MudRunnerTD ,,Great write up Darren, I need to do mine later this week.
    Is it worth pin punching the hub and the FWH so it goes back
    at the same spot. Always did that with the tojo.lol

    Not really mate, just lock it before you take it off. There is no keyway to line up or anything.

    So just jumped on the freeway for first time since I nipped the bearings up a tad... At around 80-90km/h , I am getting horrible wheel wobbles... Steering wheel has the shakes like the industrial rock crusher... Car is undriveable at those K's.
    Could tightening them up that little bit cause this ? @MudRunnerTD , Darren thoughts ?

    I also rotated my tyres at the same time, one step clockwise... So this may or may not have contributed ?

    @Hodge ,,I think your rotation is wrong as now you have front and rear tyre to steer with.
    Have you lost any weights off any of your front tyres

    I don't think any are missing. I do this clockwise rotation every 5k stringently and have never had anything like this happened. Except this time I nipped up the bearings... Which, I doubt are my trouble with the wobbles personally.
