Bloody spigots were too big for the lock nut, so a quick dash down to Patrola part, and decided to change out the nuts, lock washer and screws, plus buy a spanner that fits.

Had a nightmare getting the small brgs off the spigots - the top and bottom knuckle brgs - totally siezed, could not shift them even with a 10 t hydraulic sykes puller, so ended up grinding out the side to weaken the brg and they came out ok.

Unsure about my torque settings for seating the wheel brgs though, set a brand spanking torque wrench to 145ft lbs per the notes and never made it click, but brgs locked right up. backed them off and rotated wheel to loosen then borrowed a neighbours TW and same again, never reached 145. Anyway, have followed the instructions but compared to the other side of the car the wheel brg assy is a fair bit stiffer. Looks like I wont get this completed this weekend, so passenger side will be done next week over a couple of nights.
Dont worry about the WB torque setting. Did my head in too. I actually broke the pin 9ff thr socket trying to get it!! Make them tight. Spin a few times each way. Fully undo. Then hand tight.
