Good one Muddy.
Works for me. Just a minor quibble though. As I was taught how to grease wheel bearings, at the end of re-assembly, 1) tighten up to a specified max., 2) turn the wheel several times both directions to ensure all is correctly 'seated' then 3) release to zero torque and spin several times again then 4) finally tighten up to effectively finger tight.
The torsion wrench settings I think that suite the Patrol (GU and GQ are close enough) are 1) about 185 N.m.....(and this is a pretty big time twist and 4) 4N.m ...not much more than finger tight.
Roughly 60+ years have made me a creature of habit and anyway, I spent dough on a torsion wrench and I'm gonna get value out if it!!!
Cheers,
Col

Nice write up. Playing with fire with one of those screws though, not much for the screw driver to grab :P

Lol! Yes your right they have seen better days. I have undone them a few time now but from memory I did that damage the first time I had to undo them 150,000 kms ago.

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.

Yeah all your torque measurements are correct although good luck with the 185nm! It's bloody tight and I wrecked one of those wrench sockets trying to achieve it.
This write up was more aimed and a routine maintenance when servicing. Check for slop, if loose you can nip them up in 5 minutes without worrying about the torque settings.
If you have just replaced the bearings then it's a much bigger task and as you say you need to apply the routine you have clearly outlined so thanks for the add mate. Winner.
I have found Patrol front wheel bearings have a tendancy to become a little sloppy and need a nip up a couple of times a year. An inspection and repacking is probably in order next time for sure.
