Swivel hub rebuild write up.

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

I've just about finished my swivels hubs went thru took heaps of pics done it properly to my knowledge,

Is this going to be worth writing up? I did a lot of research on the topic before hand and it was limited in terms of step by steps.

and is somebody that has a mechanic trade able to edit it if I've done something that wasn't quite right?

I think this a great idea, there's a lot of steps to it so would be good to have a guide

Sent from my GT-I9305T using Forum Runner

[Maxhead]

Yeah, This would be a great resource

Of course its worth writing up, the more technical info on here the better :)

[sil3nt_dr3ams]

The only trouble is I didnt realize how lacking the topic was on hubs so I was already thru the tear down. Swivel hubs are something that goes in patrols we all have to face it some time.

Ths is where I'm heading with this,

I've done this a few times and any handy little tips would be great from anyone else on how they did steps. Like removing those king pin plugs without destroying them, I had to buy new ones last time I did it :) And it took me a few google searches and a little logic and two service manuals to remember and work out which way the scraper ring and seals went on the back of the swivel hub. :) so if you have pics of those sort of things would be very handy especially for first timers.

@MudRunnerTD did a bit of a write up, it's what I followed..

He also has heaps of pics so you 2 could maybe combine and do a wicked build thread.

Yeah hey SD, I actually have a couple of hundred pics that I took right through a strip and rebuild of the front end of a Patrol, I really should put them in a write up as I'd planned lol. I also have a strip and rebuild of a rear diff ready to go.

Also a full pictorial of a roof rack fit up and mounting of the side and rear awnings! Plans plans plans! Should get my act together lol.

Go for your life though mate. There is no such thing as too much info.
