I have got 4.5L of LSD oil I am happy to donate but unfortunately I am up in QLD. Also I have found using newspaper is a great substitute for rags when doing swivel hub kits. (Used to replace cv's after every trip in my old sierra) :)

Did you do the seal on the actual swivel hub or was it the seal for the wheel bearing hub that goes onto the stub axle ???

He was either rough or just didn't do the outer seals coz there leaking mate! Rear diff oil will need to be drained coz the center will be removed.
Now i'm waiting for BA to show us the pic of all the metal filings in the gear box oil, the transfer case oil was as black as the ace of spades mate !!

Easy to wreck that seal putting in the axle and then all the good work is for naught. Maybe we need a swivel hub kit for one side only but it will likely be cheaper to buy a kit for both sides and have some spares.
A kit for both will be a lot better Darren so the car isn't left stranded needing parts on the 6th. By outer seals i mean the ones on the back of the swivel hub facing the center, they where very wet almost dripping!!
Biggest problem is we are working after hours so parts arn't available so we need to have all bases covered otherwise the car will have to sit for a week for the correct parts to be ordered and swapped and i fear we might push this budget to the limit trying to stay safe. Theres a few members pulling strings and calling in favors so lets see what happens!!
5 hectic days to go!!

Bring them so we can see which one has the least amount of wear!

The inner axle seal is the only seal holding fluid. The inner axle seal is often damaged on the left side (long side) when refitting the long axle.
Grab a full kit mate and we will just do it anyway. That diff oil will have washed out the grease anyway, good onya mate.
I haven't done them since i was an apprentice so i'm a bit vague, i'll do at crash course on yours mate!! Lol
See what we can scrape together and worst case if we buy too many parts we could return them or exchange for other stuff, yeh?

If not I was going to scoot up to RooDogs and just get a seal kit from there??
Still the big problem is the gearbox... everything else we have the means and the talent but to not be spending half our budget just on a gearbox is proving to be hard, Andy is looking into an option tomorrow to see $$$$$
Don't order anything on Monday , we may have more options by then!!

Can we get a second hand gearbox from somewhere?? Got to be better than the one in it??
I'm gona hit up a Nissan dealer for the Rear main, they give me a better price on parts for my truck and my bro's skyline so see what i can do!! Plus 20 years of buying parts thru them helps also lol

Healy said they where done but we don't know the quality or if theres any metal fillings but better we get some and return if need be or keep as spares but i'd prefer to have quality Timkin bearings or another good japanese brand
