If you look up the part # it says for GQ / GU 1995 on-wards, but my 1992 GQ has this setup and don't think it was done by the previous owners before me, Say maybe it was only done on the TI's up until 1995, but in saying that doesn't explain why yours doesn't being a 97Quote:

My kit doesn't have them and am wondering if you can get away without replacing them?
Thanks
Gday mate. I just had a look at the diagram and you will be fine mate. Snap ring is fine unless you damage it. The l9ck washer is the same, only replace if you have killed it. It just bends over t9 lock the nut so not too concerning. If you bought a good kit like Terrain Tamer it will come with everything you need. If your kit did not come with Wheel Bearings you should invest and do them too.Quote:

Darren, Well presented mate and would offer something to many of us. The pics are certainly an improvement on those in my trusty old Haynes.
I will not be doing a a complete teardown of knuckle flange assy. A few yrs back replaced wheel bearings and recently changed out rotors and pads. What I will be doing is going in and replacing the inner axle seal, repacking wheel bearing and replacing the hub dust seal.
Looking for a heads up of method to remove the inner axle seal "only", with knuckle flange assy still in place. Have not yet stripped it down and no worries in getting to it. Any comment for inner axle seal removal would help?
Just follow MRs steps up to number 4.... Last time I did my seal, we left the knuckle on. Just undid the king bearing plate so we could also repack those bearings with grease and cleaned out all the diff oil that had leaked in.Quote:

Yes but the CV must be taken out first. Once out your good to go. Then the Lip Seal removal tool featured in the first post is your best friend.Quote:

I just finished rebuilding my swivel hubs only on a GUII with manual locking hubs.
Love ya work
Finding this thread very helpful so thank you Mudrunner.
But would you happen to know the part number for the CV brass washer? I cant find it anywhere :(
Hi mate, If your struggling i would re-use the one you have mate. they are not really a wear item.Quote:

Thanks for the reply bud I really appreciate what you have done in this thread.
Dunno where you are mate but I have a pair of them at home in Gippsland VictoriaQuote:

Hey Winnie, thanks mate, I just bought a second hand CV and the bloke gave the washer with it :D
Thanks so very much for this. So easy to follow :)
After doing all this I'm not sure what oil for the front diff. The hub is an auto locking thingo ma Bob... how can ya tell if the diff is lsd or not? Just worried about using the wrong oil :)
Cheers
as far as i know there is not front lsd patrol diffs, only rears. mechanics have told me you can put the same rear lsd oil into the front so thats what i do. i think its more expensive because its lsd but i dont pay for it
Thanks a billion MD. Your posts helped me rebuild my swivels. I bought my 96 gq with serious diff oil leak comin out swivel. I think i did it right cause its not leakin any more😅
Ok so i took these pics last year and thought i had uploaded them but did not.
Here are dome pics for removing the king pin bearings 2 different ways.
Option 1 needs a bearing removal clamp and a vice.

Install in vice loosely so it is just sitting in there hanging from the clamp
Punch and hammer.

Easy job.
Lmm grease is great for the wheel bearings and CV
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/03/293.jpg
Option 2 is to use a pair of pointy nose pliers and a flat screw driver. 3 points of contact make light work of it
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/03/294.jpg
Remove the lip seal under the bearing. Just wreck it and rip it out. This makes space for the pliers

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/03/299.jpg
The taper on the pliers will do the work here. Wedge in and work it.

Screw driver from the other side.

I have a also embedded the above post into post 5 of this thread where it should be in the process. Hope it helps gent.
Cracker write up, helped out heaps!
Great write up, thank you MudRunner. One question for the experts, can you test the preload of your kingpins with the removal of the brake disk and rear wiper seals with just the CV and front dust guard in place?
Yes i would think so. To be honest i always just check them by Hand and Feel and have been pretty happy to do it that way.Quote:

Great info. Thank you champ.
I’m going to be doing the wheel bearings on GU this weekend. I saw a vid by terrain tamer where he tensioned the wheel bearings then he hit the edges of the tyre with a sledge Hamer then checked for movement. Which there was then he tightened them again.
Is that a good method of seating them????
Any ideas would be great. Cheers
Thanks for the detailed step by step with pics. Much appreciated
Just to add more clarity the copper washer all so needs greasing
Thanks Heaps Mudrunner ,,just made the whole job that much easier!! appreciate it!
Hi there, awesome detailed write up, been studying this thread & doing my GQ at the same time getting all the necessary info from the write up, 2 thumbs up for taking the time to share MudRunner....
Now there’s a question coming...
Attachment 79668
The Nissan GQ Patrol manual shows the seal guard(s) being inserted vertically, not horizontally (your pics shows it inserted horizontally), can you plz clarify & confirm?
That is interesting. Where did you get that pic?? If you refer to the first page you will see.the diagram I use is horizontal. Note also there is a pic clearly showing the back of the swivel hub with them bolted up. The bolt pattern will dictate them anyway. They will only go 1 way.Quote:

As you can see in these pics the bolt pattern suggested in the image is clearly not correct either.Quote:

Yup my actual GQ is exactly like yours as shown in the above post...Quote:

The manual shows it facing down, others have mentioned it should face up, one member has mentioned to me that it should face down to allow any water to be dispersed in case it enters the swivel knuckle area.
What are your thoughts?
P.S.
Which bolt hole do you use for the 1 special/different looking bolt (stopper bolt) at the back for the scraper seal guards?
I fit them to the bottom as per the photo above but the swivel hub is sealed and there should be No Water ingress. If water gets in there then your stripping it out anyway for the contaminant.Quote:

The steering stop bolt in on the front side on both sides. Clearly visible in these pics.

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2019/11/99.jpg
And my GQ also runs a GU diff with that same setup.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/11/100.jpg
Sorry I can't confirm the GQ is the same but I'm nearly 100%

Note from this photo of my GU that Nissan changed from Horizontal to Vertical from GQ to GU. Learn something every day.Quote:
