Kinda got lazy with this car over the last 12 months, leaving things not repaired or done any preventative maintenance as Ive had other things on my mind. This is the outcome from neglect.
Not sure if I can save it. We'll see.
Looking at your photo I presume you have completely dismantled the hub. The part with the rotating section that indicates whether its lock or unlocked.
How is this done?
I have looked at mine many times and have no idea how they come apart.

There is five, or six metal dowels holding the outer gear in the housing. spray a head of CRC or similar around these, turn the hub facing downwards and kind of tap the hub on a flat surface and the pins will start to slide out. Once out the outer gear need to be spun, anti clockwise ( I think) and it winds out, take note of the depth of this gear beforehand as you need to set the depth again when winding it back in. Once it comes out there is a circlip holding the middle section in the outer gear. Remove this circlip and the middle section comes apart.Quote:

Got the patrol back yesterday afternoon after being at 4x4 Obsession. Finally got the power steering box replaced and thanks to mudski fitted up the drag link. Had them have a look at the front driver side bearing, turns out it needed to be repacked. I just kept nipping it up every time it needed it. Also got them to look at why it was running like dog on petrol that turned out to be the fuel pump was low on voltage below 3,000rpm.
Must admit that it's now driving and feeling the best that's it's been for a long time.

Yep, again very nice. Do you slip the holder over that silicon cover??
I just used, electrical tape around mine John. Didn't know you could buy an actual cover.
My kaymar bar arrived with two of them.Quote:

Gave the ol' TD some fresh oil and filters for her 150k birthday.
Drivetrain lubes tomorrow.
Pulled one of my FW Hubs apart today (thanks to mudski on how they come apart)
A bit grotty inside where the spring is.

A bit cleaner now.

One question, is it worth while getting the circlip out that can be seen in the second last photo to totally dismantle the hub?
Cheers Trevor
New spark for the old girl today. Bought from a small town garage for $30 less than that super "cheap" place sells them for. Pays to #buyfromthebush.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...020/03/108.jpg

I did. Its quite easy. There is a square oring that goes around the plastic part that you turn to lock the hubs, so try to avoid using and petrol or the likes to clean the hub up as you will destroy the oring.Quote:

Not to the Patrol, but made some jumper cables for it, as I didn't have a set.
3 gauge / 25.72mm² I think it is, 5 metres long.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...020/03/109.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...020/03/110.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...020/03/111.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...020/03/112.jpg
Looks like reasonably decent clips too. Most of the ones available these days are almost paper thin.
Yeh they have a decent spring and solid jaws.Quote:

Fitted the above aerial.
While pulling out the old cable the radio went out, that gave me another job to do. Out with the radio to find the disconnected wire. Wasn't to bad, now setting it all back to how it was is going to take even longer.

Some radios stop when you disconnect the areal cable, I reckon it's an earthing thing.
Refueled another 250L under tray via 24/7 unmanned tap & go go zero contact, albeit Glen 20 is my new Bushman’s first response handle squirt [emoji106][emoji106]

Washed it, still has red dirt coming out of the door weep holes. Great memories!
installed sound deadener and insulation in doors.
still got the mass noise liner to go before the vinyl goes in.
Finally got around to reseating flat roof rack a bit further back and replaced all exterior globes with LEDs. Happy as!
Tried to winch a tree today. But nup. The last tree I winched was a big pine tree and that killed it. Nearly finished the high mount.

shortened transmission input shaft & fitted trans to rear of 6bt to see how far i can move engine/ trans back
What else can you do when Melbourne puts on weather like this and you can't go anywhere.
Wash, wash and wash.
With alot less drivers (dickheads) on the roads, I'll give the Clubsport a run this week to work.
Also yesterday put both batteries on a 240v charge.

The really massive one I cut down to ground level with the chainsaw, it was in three forks at ground level. Painted each stump immediately with straight glyphosate (roundup) and no suckers after 12 months.
Don’t forget to strip down the chainsaw and clean immediately as they are wet and sticky.
Yuccas,palms and pines I hate with a passion. I seriously don't see the attraction in any of them. I have no pines left on my block and one yucca left, which will be gone soon.Quote:
