2000 Gu Patrol Auto Hubs

[SKID]

2000 Gu Patrol Auto Hubs, My tyre place recommended I nip up my wheel bearings as they were a little loose, all that went well but when I put the hubs back in it what I though was the reverse order I now have dramas, The hubs will work in the lock position and 4wd engaged, but if I have them in the auto selection when I engage 4wd I get a clunking sound, i tried reading my manuals I have here but they aren't much help. any advise would be appreciated

Pull out the auto part and just keep it as manual its stronger that way anyway.


Mine was making a clunking also http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?33019-Hub-not-engaging

I have tried locking the hub and putting it back in, something is not aligned up some where as manually locking the hub works but if left in auto, It just clunks.. My service manuals are not helping at all...

Too much grease?

[SKID]

yes there is a lot of grease in the hub, will clean it out tomorrow and refit and see how that goes...

Ahhh, that could well be the problem then.
Auto hubs don't like a lot of grease and won't engage correctly

Strange how they were working fine before taking them off to tighten wheel bearing!!!!

ROFL... just backs up Murphys 3rd Law "If something was working before you touch it then it will immediately stop working afterwards"

Might be the grease, might not, but too much grease in the hub mechanism, whilst not always the culprit, can definitely give the symptoms you describe.

I think you got it there et, I did the same bloody thing with my winch and couldn't get it to free spool Bang Head

I'd still pull out the auto though lol

I'm about to get some AVMs but quite happily try whipping out the auto of the hubs first.
If someone could tell me how?

[SKID]

You only need to leave these parts out and hubs free wheel in auto position and lock in lock position6560165602

Wow, thanks Skid.
That'll save me a few quid too.
I take it your pics are showing the same part flipped over, so I'll find one of those on each side?

Correct only one on each side

[SKID]

Yes it is pulled appart

[Daveyboyjunior]

Thanks chaps, will report back!

[Daveyboyjunior]

Hi guys, how do you get these parts out?
I see there is a circlip inside I can pinch together, but the bit in the picture above still won't lift out.
Any help appreciated!

Thanks everyone.
Job done, with a decent length crow bar, they just oozed out.
