[@thomasblanch7161]

Just a little suggestion make sure your fill bolt comes out before taking drain plug out

[@hobsonsoffroadandcustoms4918]

Thomas Blanch I agree

[@AussieArvos]

Great tip mate!

[@jm6056]

This video is so much better then your older ones. Way more professional and actually teaches people something. Good work fellas. Btw I'm an 80 1HDT guy and i didn't hear any bad words about them haha

[@AussieArvos]

MATE!! that'll be my next 4wd ! absolute weapon! and Thanks were learning!!

[@patricksequeira6124]

Good to see everyone getting dirty and not just letting Dan do all the work. Not that I really mind, it means that Dan gets more screen time and I get to stare at him for longer.

[@AussieArvos]

Who doesn't ;)

[@Samiceman10]

Nice work boys, keen for part 2!

[@AussieArvos]

Cheers mate!!

[@brettwebs1748]

Hey lads great video and helped me out! Just curious you mentioned the spring underneath that changes the rear breaking when you lift the vehicle. What's that spring called and how to you adjust it according to the lift?

[@jesseleon1211]

Hey guys, nice video. I got a rare GU SD33 made in Spain from the transition from the 160 (as it's called here) and the next generation 260. I don't know if I have a rear LSD or not. I lift the rear axle and spin one wheel and the other one spins in the other direction. But, what if I just habe the wrong oil? Any idea to check what diff I have?

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

Should ALWAYS crack the filler to make sure you able to fill it before you drain it.

[@AussieArvos]

yeah definitely good advice! better to check then to be stuck without any oil in her haha!

[@inspire4x4jacko67]

@@AussieArvos you know it brother

[@shaniarobb2973]

Didn’t realise Dan could turn so red like ever 😂

[@staywiththefight1]

[@codymiles8432]

Only just discovered this Channel and for the most part I fucking love the videos, but my god James has literally no fucking idea and it shows 🤣🤣🤣

[@turkkiq]

Thanks but what was the reading of odometer?and did you replace the oil before or it is first time?!

[@hakahorse]

might have to take my Aussie arvos sticker off my ZD now hahaha thanks guys will give the diff oil change a crack now

[@Jordanmccarragher]

How do you fix the rear brake proportional valve? I have a 6inch lift in my gq

[@dantheman7647]

You can buy or make a plate that lifts the lever to its original position 👍

[@Jordanmccarragher]

Cheers legend

[@tacosombrero1233]

jordan mc carragher Just cut it off

[@marcosarria2984]

So extend the plate 6" of you have a 6" lift?

[@caseybyers6750]

Hey mate this was a rippa vid very helpful cause my 1995 gq ute is getting front and rear diff lockers atm, done a few things to gq’s but never done diff oil haha how far below the fill plug do you recommend?

[@AussieArvos]

you fill it basically until its coming out the fill plug!

[@fizbinsupra]

sure mick would let u use the hoist Dan

[@PogoFrog]

I wish u guys could help me with my Patrol in Germany.. but u are damn far away! I really love my y61- but unfortunately something is constantly broken! Now I got problems with a rumbling rear axle.. Best wishes from Hamburg

[@willreed6231]

Buy a new injector pump..then do a vid of pulling out the old one and installing the new one

[@AussieArvos]

oh we definitely will be!

[@willreed6231]

Good! Then I’ll copy yas lol

[@dachickenwingx1721]

haha best patrick service video every safty thongs are de best

[@yabbie9129]

1998 GQ? Didn’t they replace the GQ with the GU in 1997? Not that it matters lol just wandering if I’m wrong now

[@michaelbasha2027]

Great video boys keep em coming...very knowledgeable..i watch all your episodes. Love it.. Now about Toyotas, the most reliable cars built world wide..even in America where Rams and Chevs are built.. The Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are still the highest selling after the Ford F150. Rams and Silvarado in America have a shit resale value compared to Toyota.. Just saying haha

[@AussieArvos]

Thanks Michael! yes well James wants to get a chopped 3500 RAM from the USA for parts for a new Patrol build! from the sounds of it they don't seem super expensive!

[@lennypersin3574]

What’s the reason for the different oils to the front and back? Love the vids lads

[@JoelPhillipsMedia]

front diff had a locker, the rear had a limited.

[@AussieArvos]

Yep Joel nailed it! cheers boys!

[@lennypersin3574]

Thanks boys. So if my cars just standard at the front should I use the same oil as the rear?

[@AussieArvos]

@@lennypersin3574 The rear Diff needs specific LSD oil, but as the front doesn't have a LSD you just use differential oil as it doesn't need to be Limited Slip differential oil!

[@lennypersin3574]

Sweet thanks. So 80w-90 gearbox & differential oil would be suitable for front diff?

[@DarbStar]

i own a zd30 with a nice leaking transmission XD sick video btw !

[@AussieArvos]

😂 oh love it 👌 cheers Darb!

[@CrouchingSoup]

Aren’t you supposed to undo the fill plug first?

[@craze6813]

The safety thong lmao

[@AussieArvos]

Drain bolt on me gu gearbox is stripped. Any tips on getting those square breaker bar bolts out

[@AussieArvos]

well you could tack weld a nut onto it and ratchet it off, Or you can use a torch to heat the bolt up and remove it. or could try pump it out though the filler plug (not as ideal tho)

[@brentjones8604]

Will a torch cause any damage to the gearbox?

[@AussieArvos]

@@brentjones8604 Shouldn't do unless you get it actually red hot, but ill ask Mechanic Dan

[@brentjones8604]

Cheers bud

[@AussieArvos]

@@brentjones8604 Dan says: "Little bit out heat around the plug and spray the centre with cool water but if its already stripped he’s up the shit"
