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.Originally Posted by healy
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 !!
should have seen the diffs
IF ITS NOT BROKEN IT MUST BE A PATROL
Hey George, if its leaking then it will be the inner axle seal that is leaking and everything else may be brand new. 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.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

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!!
The bonnet is worth more then 500!! And its not a bad idea either!!
Yep those seals are only scraper seals. The swivel hub is supposed to be dry and there is only grease in there and it will not run, but those seals being almost a dust seal will not stop the diff oil dripping out if the inner axle seal is leaking diff oil into the swivel hub. 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.

What ratio is the diff centre from niss I've got 4.3 crown and pinion in the garage which is the ratio of the car
4.3's will be in that truck mate.
Is it out of the front or the back? Is it still all together as it was taken out of a car? Where did you get it? If its a back then it will have an LSD in it which is what Nissannewby is going to cart down on the plane.
