Thought I’d get the old GUrl back in the garage to attend to a few things before Cape Jaffa at Christmas. One thing on my mind is the god awful creaking from the clutch.
I have bled the clutch fluid out to new fluid. Nothing. Greased the pivot ball, nothing. My
Next thing is to somehow grease the clutch release bearing carrier that slides on the nose cone of the gear box. I reckon this is wear its at. But how on the hell can I do this?
Any ideas?

My bet would be on the clutch release fork pivot point, as that happened before in a 1994 4Runner that I had, but you said you have already greased it.
I´d try to have someone operating the clutch while you are under the car trying to pin-point where the creeking comes from.
Now that you mentioned, how did you managed to grease that pivot point? On the car I mentioned, the only think I could do was to remove the clutch fork rubber boot and squirt some WD40 lightly, to avoid spilling much on the clutch itself. Anything better than this would require bell-housing front view.

I got the wife to depress the clutch while i was under there with a stethoscope and the noise is 100% from the clutch area. So its either the pivot ball, carrier housing or pressure plate itself.
I used a long flat bladed screw driver with grease on the end of it. But after removing the boot again last night and having a better look I may not have gotten the actual pivot ball. I will try again tonight.
I might remove the exhaust dump pipe so I have more inline access into the bell housing.

Good one mate! I must try that next time I have the GU at home.
The first look I had at the picture I thought you had stuffed those party necklace things into the bellhousing LOL. That would also be genius!

Yeah brilliant outcome. Very happy. As for the back. It would have been worse lying on the concrete, that creeper I bought is awesome.

Everything back in. I need to drive the Patrol to work tomorrow as my work car got a flat today, and the front left has a screw in it and the car is booked for a service Friday. So I take the flat to them and ask them to just plug it as Friday I will be in and it needs new tyres anyway. They said they couldn’t because the hole was too close to the side wall and they can’t repair this. Even though I was to just use this repaired tyre as redundancy just I case the spare I’m on fails, more so because the front left has a screw in it too. Lol. Nope they flat out refused. So knowing my luck. I’ll get another flat so the Poo’ey will have a chance to terrify the public tomorrow.

Seriously thinking of ditching this Fatz Fab air box too. I should never have bought it. I should have gone the flat panel design over this. As this thing would barely do 5k in travel a year, and oiled air filters don’t like sitting around, they will lose their filtration efficiency.
So I might look around for a better setup soon.
