Here's my project to restore, named Gouda. My last patrol, a 1982 MQ was named Cheese so I decided to stay in the cheese family.

Nothing is "sealed for life" if you're determined enough :)
Most bearings SAY they're greased for life, but it's a simple matter to pop the dust cover off, flush out old grease, and if they're...
Not sure what's available in jamaica (mon) but here we have engineering and even specialist bearing supply houses. I imagine they're a standard size, but you'll need them out to check for dimensions/...

Man, those wheels look so nice!

Wd40 specialist spray on lithium grease bunnings! 😀
I had a similar creak on my clutch pedal, just use some grease, or of it's too hard to apply in that space, some oil using a tin oil can with a thumb pump.
Yep, I used a GL5 oil thinking it would be better, & changes were horrible until the car was properly warmed up. When I tried a GL4 oil changes were like it had been when warmed up ….from cold. I...
I've just re-read most of your thread. It is going really well. Sorry to be a bummer, but I read that you washed your Patrol in laundry detergent. That stuff has a very high salt content, and it also...
First time I saw a free wheel hub like this. I was used to either only manual or only auto hubs.

There are at least two rod lengths I can confirm. When I replace the slave cylinder on mine I still had some issues, pulled the rod out of the new and old cylinders and the new one was at least an...
If rust only appears, it is better to clean up to the metal and paint with a primer and paint. If you already have holes, then cut, cook and paint.
