Hub locking Tool ?

[Bubba]

what tool do i need to manually lock my hubs?
i can not find anything in the truck that looks like it will do the job

[Bigrig]

Just the standard wheel brace should do it mate - they're the same size and the wheel lugs. Assuming you're meaning auto hubs of course?

[Bubba]

i dont think its a auto hub, have taken a pic of it

[Bubba]

here is the pic

You don't learn if you don't ask questions. No judging here, feel free to ask all the questions you need.

there is a nob in the dash which is half hanging out, would that have been for auto hub locking that once may have been fitted?

[wildgu6]

Yer as Kris said use hands, just turn the centre locking tab with fingers, should move quite easily

That is idle adjustment pull it outward to up the idle then clockwise to lock it in position.
Anticlockwise to unlock it and let it go back in.
Handy when warming up the engine or when tackling rough stuff off road once locked you can keep a slow steady speed without touching the accelerator pedal

It is NOT your CRUISE CONTROL knob. Did your truck come with an owner's manual?

thanks for that , the knob is loose, as in it wiggles in the dash will have to have a play with it and see if i can reattach it

No it did not come with owners manual

[Bubba]

do they have cruise control?

Your right Rossco, it's not a cruise control and shouldn't be used as such when driving on the road. But it's can be useful when your out in the rough stuff to keep the revs up

This is a funny thread. Nice work everyone.

Welcome to the forum Bubba

Hey Bubba, I got my Patrol sans owners manual as well. It's a few years ago now but I went to Nissan spare parts in Gosford and bought a new one. Don't remember the cost but it was a black and white generic looking thing that looked like it had been done on a photo copier.

I reckon you could get one on eBay if you were patient. There's always Haynes.

Here you go, cheap at twice the price!

[97_gq_lwb]

I think he needs an operators manual more then a workshop manual.

[GQsweep]

Yep, understand that. My first post was referring to the glovebox owners manual. The second post is what I found in a few seconds on Ebay. :)
