Save yourself some money in the long run and upgrade to the gu system.

To do that use a brass punch to remove the nuts, then replace them with something like this.

And a tool like this https://www.onlineautoparts.com.au/p...8aAiuwEALw_wcB

I wish I had known about the upgrade before I shelled out for the GQ tool and had some locking washers made for around $2 each.

I'm not following this Craig.
I used the 54mm socket from ebay to undo the nut & repack the bearings.
Why is it necessary for this upgrade?
What issues do you have in the long run with the stock hub nut locking system?
Mine appears to be fine since repacking years back and once a year or so checking.

GU System??? I think you mean GQ system, my 92 GQ TI runs the same thing and I'm pretty sure its factory fitted not after market or a GU thing.......

Thank you for correcting me. It is strange they didn't use that system throughout the range as it is way superior than having to replace locking washers. Mine is a '94.
@NissanGQ4.2 Did yours come with auto locking hubs?

I could be wrong, I just can't see mine being after market or converted by the previous owner

Yeh mate Auto locking hubs, although they are now converted 2 manual

So I have stuffed up. In @Winnies early pictures of his Patrol it has the manual hubs, which I thought you could upgrade to the locking ring. ( I remember him posting that he had upgraded and I assumed it was just the locking ring). In his later pics it looks like he has fitted the auto hubs. Still hoping I am wrong about that, though.

Don't know mate that is the story I got from my mate that is changing the rotors but 53 doesn't sound right to me. that is an offf size. Yeah 54 is the right size. Cheers
