DIY CV and Swivel Hub Rebuild Thread
OK So one of the big maintenance items that we may attempt at home is a CV swap or Swivel Hub Rebuild. I have done this a Few times and have had these pics ready to go for ever!! I have referenced them a few times to members and thought it was time i actually did this thread so here it is!
A Comprehensive Swivel Hub Rebuild Thread (Hopefully)
So firstly THE MOST IMPORTANT Information!
Screen shot 2015-02-16 at 12.16.25 PM.png
In the pic above you have all the info you need to get the job done.
The numbers below each of the tightening points are read like this N-m. kg-m. ft-lb
i.e.Lock nut - 167 - 196 (17 - 20, 123 - 145) = 167-196Nm, 17-20kg-m, 123-145ft-lb
The Black Circle Dot with the white X indicated the item should be replaced every time the hub is stripped.
The Grease gun symbol indicates to pack the seal lip with the recommended grease.
I have always used Nulon Extreme grease for all my jobs but recently changed to LM grease for the bearings after we did Healys front end.
You will need a Heap of Rags. Lots of them. I also use paper towel as it can get really messy and you will waist a heap of rags.
You will need a clean place to work if you can and jack stands.
Tools will include:a
- 1/2" Metric socket set
- Metric Allen Keys
- Pointy Nose Pliers
- Vice Grips
- Multi grips
- Brass Drift or Cold Chistel
- Soft face Hammer
- Big Hammer
- Vice would be bloody handy!
Things i have purchased and rate very highly are the following:
- Lip seal remover
- Seal/Bearing Insert Kit
- Bearing grease press
I also recommend a couple of trays to lay stuff out in and somewhere to put all the bolts and nuts as you take it all off. Stay organised and you will do this easily.
Lip seal removal tool (less than $20)

MECHANICS-SEAL-PULLER-REMOVER-REMOVAL-HAND-TOOL
The Bearing Driver kit Less than $50 and Highly recommend one of these to everyone!!)

Bearing-Race-and-Seal-Driver-Set-10-PCS-
Cant believe how handy these kits are!!
and the Ducks Guts!! The bearing Grease Packer!! HELL YEAH!!
orly_34550c.jpg
There are a few different types that will do the same job. I love mine and it was about $50.
Search eBay HERE for Bearing Packer
Once you have used one of these you will Never go back!!
I have used the Terrain Tamer swivel hub rebuild kit a few times and am very happy with the quality of the kit.
As a rule i have always done the Swivel Hub rebuild, wheel bearings and King Pin bearings all at the same time. Doing this rebuild will transform how your front end feels and you will feel the difference through your steering wheel as soon as you drive.
Good Luck and dont hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
Let the Photo Bomb Begin!!!

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.
