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.

The seals are easy to replace but the preload on the bearing is something like 240ft/lbs...

I'd be interested if you do have a way that can be easily done at home.

Hi im a field service plant mechanic & have been doin this sort of thing for 30 odd yrs on site with out any presses etc & never had a failure. As i cant carry everthing on my truck i need to improvise with what i have on board granted sometimes ive had to make some tools along the way but always get it done..

Hi mate, I read your post to mean you were asking for advice on how it can be done at home? a second read today and your offering to produce a DIY on the process.
Sorry i responded to you as a newby, which is reasonable and this is generally not a job to be attempted as a newby to tools and home maintenance. Your obviously Not a newby as you have since explained.
Hell yeah mate, show us how its done at home. would be very keen to see it laid out as i recently had the rear diff stripped and stopped short of attempting that in the driveway.
Look forward to the pictorial.
Cheers MR

Hi ALITIS007 From memory. The bearings get tensioned up to about 350ft-lb. Then lock it off. Then use a spring tensioner gauge & check the rotational torque which needs to be around 5 lb.
