    Ok lets see how close I can get to a step by step from memory!

    1. Jack up front end and put on jackstands
    2. Remove wheelnuts and wheel
    3. Remove Auto/manual locking hub
    4. With circlip pliars (or screwdriver) remove circlip from end of CV
    5. With multi grips take off locking hub internals from CV
    6. With multi grips remove egg ring from around CV
    7. Undo caliper bolts on the back of the swivel hub and sit caliper on top of swivel hub
    8. Now you need to give it a good wipe inside and you will see the 54mm wheel bearing nut, there is a locking plate that will be bent over the nut, use a screwdriver/punch to flatten that out and undo nut.
    9. Take of the locking plate (one of those pickup magnets usually helps)
    10. Remove the other 54mm wheel bearing nut
    11. Now the whole wheel bearing hub/disc will come off

    12. The bearing races are pressed inside, the bearings themselves will need the rear seal to be removed to come out
    13. Take it all out and punch out the bearing races with a punch and hammer

    Reassembly is the reverse.
    The rear hub seal and bearings will be in the kit from patrolapart, I would suggest replacing the 54mm gq locknut with the GU system:

    Other notes, lots of rags, degreaser and new grease are also required.

    Only specialty tool is a 54mm hub socket, otherwise standard set of screwdrivers, sockets, spanners, punches and hammer etc will suffice

    Anyone got anything else to add?
    GQ highmount, lockers, barwork, 3-Link front, long arms, V8, cage, duct tape, cable ties and 35's
