Great write up
I need to do this , just need to find some nice flat concrete in the shade to work on .
Will get the kit from Allied Bearings in Cairns .
Hey guys,
A shameless bump here, the photo that is attached shows leaking oil. Is this thread what I need to do to fix the problem?

Yes but you have plenty of time, that is more a Weep than a leak. It all looks like it has seen some salt water though, so when your ready id do a full rebuild and swap the wheel and king pin bearings for sure.Quote:

Ah no, this thread is perfect, just what I was looking for. awesome detailed info but going to struggle without the photos.
Do you still have the photos saved somewhere or are they forever gone?
Cheers
Yeah unfortunately all the photos were loaded up on to Photobucket then shared from there,Quote:

Admin is trying to work on a fix for the issue.

All good mate, thanks for the reply

Thanks mate that's perfect, looks like they're all in order so I might be able to put it all together in a word document and print it all out.
Cheers

Thanks AB. This thread get a linked on Facebook all the time so it's great that it's back up again. Cheers for your effort mate
Looks like this is going to be my next job on the troll.
I've got it booked in for late Jan to do the rear main seal finally pulled my finger out, definitely not doing that at home and have been quoted $375 to do the hub, one side. With one new seal kit wont the other side leak soon. I mean the old seal won't hold as good as the new one therefore leak.
I'm considering doing both sides at home, just not to sure if it's something that I can handle. I've gone as far as replacing a spindle and bearings, how much more is involved and what specialist tools are required if any.

More than half way there. If you had no issues doing that part then you'd be fine to do the rest.Quote:

I'd replace. Most of the work is in the labour for this job. Replace bearings, repack the old ones and put them in a zip lock bag in the back of the truck as spares.Quote:

Time poor. We get back from Tassie on a Thursday night and I'm back to work on Monday morning. While the troll is in for the rear main I thing I'll get both hubs done.

I need to do this job or the first time now. I bought a Terrain Tamer rebuild kit and now I am preparing for it.
There is one think I do not find locally (Romania - Europe): the 54mm socket.
Considering the tight value is small (almost hand tight) is it possible to fit the bearings properly without using this socket?
Did any of you succeed this job without the 54mm socket?
Just performed a hub rebuild and noticed the 54mm socket was not needed in my case. It looks like the Y61 from late 2004 does not have the two 54mm nuts.
I used the Terrain Tamer rebuild kit. I stayed close to the mechanic and learned a lot during this operations. Very happy with the result:

Can you replace the seals without removing everything else ?
Nah need to take everything of as they slip over the swivel housing. You can take the whole assembly off from the king pins tho to just do the swivel hub seals which saves a lot of time. Think in my younger days chopped the seals as a dodey fix. . . Long time ago, was very dodgey back then lol [emoji3]

Of course you need to dismantle everything else so you can reach all the seals. What i meant is my model (Y61 European from late 2004) does not hold the outer bearings with a 54mm nut. The outer bearings are held in place by a nut like the one from image bellow.
In the image bellow you have two special nuts, two washers, four screws and the tool you must use to tighten\loose the special nut.

Nothing wrong with a dodgy fix Rossco !Quote:

Out of curiosity, when did the round plate lock nut system migrate to the GQ - I have a june 1997 model, and have never sighted this assy. Will be handy to know from a spares perspective at very least.
