Yeah nah they are not part of the kit as they should never need replacing. The lack of them could certainly be giving you all kinds of issues. Replace and refit into the outer grooveOriginally Posted by K1W1

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.

Quick question, I'm not far off getting this job done, should I do the wheel bearings at the same time everything is apart or just stick to my original plan of swivel hubs and kingpin bearings? I need to buy the kit and trying to decide if I should get the wheel bearings too....

If you haven't done them before I'd personally do them. Preventative maintenance

I promise you Drew, you will bloody Kick yourself for even asking this when you have it stripped down. No brainer for me mate. for the cost, just do it. if they look OK then clean them up and repack them and put a set in a Ziplock bag for spares but replace for sure. Buy the kit that includes Wheel Bearings for sure.

Not 100% sure mate. Some time reasonably soon after Christmas. It's one of a bunch of jobs I have to do. I just need to recover a bit more as I get bloody tired at the moment after not doing very much.

Have just done this job and the wheel bearings are dead set easy to do. Worth doing at the same time.
IMO and should be taken with a grain of salt.
