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.

Excellent thread from start to finish, this is a job I will have to do in the near future and as I only get home for a few weeks at a time would like to have everything ready to go to complete the job in a day if I can. I will get one of those Kits mentioned above and look for the bearing and seal tools
No dramas mate. Have a look at the first post and you will find I embedded a link to buy each of the tools for your interest. Glad it helps.

I am looking now, I see the mob you got your Bearing and Seal set off claims one left, I am having a look for one in NZ to save the shipping hassle. I have asked a mate in TSV to buy me the bearing set and bring it ti NZ when they come next month. I will be away till Dec and want everything ready to go when I get there.
When doing the swivel bearings how do you determine the preload on the bearings?
I see there are various shims available to adjust it if it is tight but I am curious how you determine the right setting.
To be honest i never have. I replace the shims that come out and thats it. I have never measures that preload other than by feel.

Fantastic write up and pictures, MR. Thank you for putting in such a great effort.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

For my part, a truly awesome post. I am about to overhaul my front hubs and until this post felt a bit lost despite having the manual at hand. Its posts like these that make this forum so good. Many thanks for the guidance.
