DIY - NISSAN PATROL Swivel Hubs, Wheel Bearing, Brake Install

[@mikehunt5626]

Just a correction at the time line of 6:41 on your suggestion when finding the right shim size, The correct method is to use the thickest shim you have 1st, the reason for this is so when you torque the 4 bolts down you have not over loaded the bearings beyond the correct setting, I Have seen many bearings fail because people start with the thinner shim rather than the thicker one. It is a very simple thing but it saves any damage to the new bearings. Nice video and a fantastic job. My comment is only here to help others who are unaware and want to give it a go at home. Keep the vids coming

Facts

[@DomBeal57]

how many shims sizes are there? should i be buying 4 lots of each size shim?

[@markwightman4447]

Good clear video in great lighting mate. Always wanted to see what went on in there once you're deeper than the wheel bearings. Very informative.

[@boofy081965]

You did a great job best I have seen on Instructions most don't go into depth like you did well done Mick:)

[@SIDETRACKED]

Cheers Boofy. Hopefully it can help a few people.

[@joannevanlierop4330]

Thanks heaps for the tutorial on swivel hubs. It was my 1st time doing them and the video made it loud and clear. I'm stoked with my 1st rebuild Thanks mate. Frank.

[@SIDETRACKED]

Awesome, nice work. Glad it helped you.

[@joannevanlierop4330]

And something that helped me was having a bucket of water with some truck wash for an easy and fast hand clean😉👌

[@marco_zero-4x4]

It is amazing how similar it is to my Land Rover Defender’s setup. I did all four my wheel bearings a few weeks ago and it is almost identical, apart from the special hub nut. Good job and great video.

[@murraykruger5334]

Awesome video mate. Super easy to follow along. Clear instructions and tips to help make things easy. Thanks

[@SIDETRACKED]

Glad it helped

Thanks from Poland!

Hey mate. Good video. Just so u know, u got the wiper seal on back of hub backwards. 👍

[@mungrel6668]

Just wanted to say a big thanks for the video. (and the rear diff vid) Was a big help in preparing me to swap the centers on my GU for some 4.11s.

[@albertcorica9200]

Great information. I am about to do this on my 2 x Gqs so thank you for clarifying some of the finer points. Nice work.

[@ludo6554]

Hey mate, first of all great video with a lot of torque details which was really handy !! About the outer bearing that you first torque to 190nm and then re torque to 4NM, it doesn’t seem to be enough, my tyre move when I force on it by hand ! Do you think I should re right it firm by hand or is it not advised ?

[@davidscott8926]

Excellent step by step video mate. I am in the process of rebuilding my front end for the GU Patrol. I wanted to ask you what paint did you use to paint your suspension? It looks really good

[@jonosbeanflickn]

the one time I did wheel bearing to the 190nm spec thing they imploded after 50km of driving (brand new koyo japanese bearings) always set them with the tire on like you said by feel take it for a short drive and check by feel again never had a problem ever again.

[@jimdean6523]

Did not seem to pack moly grease around birfield in the hub. Check landcruiser vids for packing grease into hub. (several nissan vids have left this out)

[@YOSOYSAN1969]

Thanks excellent tutorial.....Greetings from Colombia....

[@r4rekt671]

REALLY GOOD TIP GUYS!! please have multiple of those bearing tools! Dosnt matter the brand because I tightened mine which was good but snapped when I went to loosen them! I thought it would be okay for the bearnings as long as I didn't drop the car on them tight but overnight it still destroyed the bearings 😢. Such a stupid tool (Another tip. If you break the tool at the pin.....drill it out with a 7.5mm drill bit and use the drill bit!) 😉👍🏼

[@ashtonbeyer3608]

or drill it out and cut a tent peg in half and weld them in

[@jameswhittaker3967]

Great video mate i did this step by step along with you without trouble. I did put sealant behind stub axle, and i used just HTB in kingpins.(read from others.) time for a coldy now cheers.

[@SIDETRACKED]

Awesome, stoked the video was useful.

Hi, nice job. Looks like the project is off to a good start, i am interested in you're next steps so can't wait for the next episode. Cheers

[@MrErad2008]

Doing mine soon when parts arrive. Thank you so much for this well done video. Only thing I dont have a press. I am hoping the normal using a socket on edges will work.

[@rileyhd3473]

How did you go?

[@MrErad2008]

@rileyhd3473 it all went well. Been on a few long trips and nonproblems at all. 👍

[@MrErad2008]

@rileyhd3473 I did end up buying a 20 ton press though.

[@hunterskunk286]

Hey mate I’ve recently just picked up a project and doing this at the moment I’ve completed the side with the short cv but now I’m onto the left and everything is totally different no step ring no egg ring just a complete different setup but it’s still a manual locking hub I’m lost has the previous owner re assembled and forgot them or is it meant to be like this 😩😂

[@tokeypg5330]

Buddy plz upload super safari front axil boot and axil remove and installation tutorial please

[@SamAndrei-s9i]

You put the wiper seals wrong. Metal should be first from the wheel to the diff

[@dijm8]

really informative video, thanks mate

[@SIDETRACKED]

No problem 👍

Great work, I have always wanted to know how to do the swivel hubs!!! Thanks heaps

[@SIDETRACKED]

Happy to help!

[@Beataroundbush]

My bearings came with a washer that would normally sit infront of the outer bearing before putting the locking rings on. Did you use it or was that not shown?

[@SIDETRACKED]

Thanks mate, we have a couple small trips planned in the next few months. They have been few and far between with this G60 build

[@ZZZRG]

Hey mate new to sfa got a gu so I'll definitely be referring to this video when my time comes to do this, just a quick one what's the manual called that you kept referring to and would i get one ?

[@Dazza-u4c]

The Bendix brake kit is great, my GU stops a lot quicker with it.

[@SIDETRACKED]

I'll be a little bit off testing it out, but I'm impressed with the kit. One stop shop.

[@AOE5578]

10:20 rotating force of knuckle flange check , this must be made without installing grease seal and axle shaft Thanks for the wonderful video

[@kwhite1229]

"Should" be moly grease in the kingpin bearings. but I say that loosely :D

[@SIDETRACKED]

Well good to know 👍

[@carltonr3417]

Looking good! Quick question, no gasket or sealant on the stub axle at the 14 min mark? Also, no thread lock on the stub axle bolts, or any other mission critical hardware given the hardware is used and the spring washers might not be as effective as new?

[@SIDETRACKED]

Not as far as I'm aware. I have never on my other Patrol. Happy to be corrected.

[@carltonr3417]

@@SIDETRACKED I would assume without some sort of seal it wouldn't be very water tight. Especially if underwater for any period of time

[@adaoteixeira2876]

I am struggling with my GU 4.2L before when all the parts are broken 😂

[@barefootbandit1]

My hub tool just broke trying to torque the hub nut. 😢

[@thebossman80s]

I’m just about to do this job to my td42 gu, what exact cv grease did you use? Also do you have a video on how you took out the old races for the bearings

[@SIDETRACKED]

it was a penrite cv grease. With the hub assembly off and bearings out you can get a drift or punch through the middle into a small cut out section to hit the back side of the race

[@thebossman80s]

I have finished the job a few months ago and all seems to be well. There’s just one thing I’m a bit worried about. When I punched in the little spindle bearing I didn’t seat it flush with the face of the spindle, I hit it in further, almost all the way in! On the passenger side wheel. Will this make a difference? Will the cv shaft reach the bearing and sit in it alright?
