Gu Front Diff Rebuild Ep 8

rebuilding the whole front end with all new bearings and seals, painful job but something that has to be done sometimes and it feels nicer to drive now.

[@darrenc4096]

Yeah mate, watched it all. I always learn something new when your in the shed. Thanks mate. 🍺

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it!

[@xtoofar]

i could watch your work for hours, always learn something too, cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. I always try and make videos with useful information and try keep them interesting! Cheers

[@lronpaw]

Cheers Dan. I dont mind your rambling, always learning something new about patrols (being a cruiserhead myself). I know them feels about itching to get back out on the tracks.. my builds been a bit longer comin than yours though. :)

[@DanielKistler]

Haha thanks mate! Someone’s you under estimate how long it actually takes to do stuff! Cheers

[@td42dirtygq]

Love your work mate keep it up and plz do suspension video like to know how to setup steering damper 🤙🏾🍻 And watch to the end.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Steering dampener is pretty easy mate but I’ll try remember to put it in the video. Cheers mate

[@garyjames5292]

Yeew watched the whole thing. Love your vids man, lots of handy tips and tricks.

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@lachlanquinn152]

Got my 24v alternator (in the air con spot) going in my 75 series, any idea why it's pumping out 37 volt not hooked up to the battery's but when I wire it in it goes down to 24.5ish on the battery's? All for the winch haha

[@DanielKistler]

Couldn’t tell you exactly why, maybe the input of 24v into the alternator regulates the output it gives. I do know they hate being spun up without being connected to any load haha.

[@lachlanquinn152]

Ahhh makes more sense Wanted a switchbox but the wait times are insane! Thankyou

[@jonojacoby7015]

Absolutely hanging for a shed skid haha! Always make it until the end, don't want to miss out on any of your no b.s tips and secretly still waiting for the day when there's the last minute merch plug 🤞

[@DanielKistler]

Haha it’s in the next one! Nothing too crazy though, still a skid haha! I’ve been thinking about merch but I’ll wait until the channel grows some more. Also thinking of a way to be different is hard. See what happens mate! Cheers

[@michaeldurie9413]

Hey Dan, sorry for the rehash of an old, old vid! Haha. Can I ask you two Qs about the gu front end - do the front centres have a collapsible pinion spacer that you replace with a solid when fitting your locker for the first time? - do you always run Genuine free wheeling hubs and do you purchase from Nissan when needed? Thanks Michael

[@DanielKistler]

All good mate, good to see people are still watching them! No collapsable spacer in patrol centres, so just normal shims are fine. Yes, genuine hubs. They are strong enough to survive a beating but a good weak spot and easy to change. I’ve just acquired a heap of second hand ones over the years, I wouldn’t buy brand new. Cheers

[@aspectscarpentry4310]

Also watch to the end, Very interesting learn heaps every video!

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it

[@andrewgillespie7998]

Sick video, I’ve just stripped GU diffs to go in and was going to just pay to get it done but after watching that I think it’ll have a go!

[@DanielKistler]

Worth having a go yourself mate! Cheers

[@zukmat3461]

Damm haha I just done a swivel hub rebuild on mine last weekend and had a hell of a job getting the races out. Wish I thought of welding the races.

[@DanielKistler]

Hahaha, it’s a horrible job. Now you know for next time Atleast!

[@emersonvarley5069]

Watched it all

[@titot2370]

Nice shed. Given my age, the amount of tools I’d need vs the time I have left and lack of technical knowledge, might be cheaper for me to pay for upgrades. Still enjoying ur vids tho

[@DanielKistler]

Sometimes that’s better mate! Thanks for watching

[@jimmyobrien2384]

Hey man recently found your videos and can’t get enough of them, just a got a question, look to get myself a TD patrol but struggling to find anything for a decent price, got any tips on how to track one down and what to look for when buying? Cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for checking them out. Unfortunately the price of patrols has gone through the roof, I doubt it will come down, you really just have to keep and eye out and jump on the ones that look alright straight away! Look for any rust and the possibility of an engine swap!

[@sweetrider34]

top bloke man, your videos are inspirational!

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate

[@1p2a3d4d5y]

You make very watchable videos fella, yep watch to the end too. Good tech knowledge with no BS. You deserve more subs!

[@terrain1058]

Another wicked vid man and made it all the way to the end as always! Got my diffs braced front and rear now just need to rebuild them. They have been sitting on the shed for way to long. haha ps. Are you gonna be at cliffhanger this year?

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks for watching mate! Haha it’s not really a fun job that’s for sure! Nah mate I won’t be attending cliffhanger this year!

[@seanman6691]

Hey mate just wondering when you painted the diff after bracing it up did you do any rust treatment on it or did you just spray over it all? Reason I ask is my diff is in a similar state and I’m doing a similar thing

[@seanman6691]

And mate I watch all your vids to the close

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate, not really haha, just a quick sand job and slap some paint on. After the first couple bush drives its back to bare metal anyway so I wouldn’t stress too much. Thanks for watching mate!

I’ve got an easier way of greasing you’re front wheel bearings, love you’re idea though. Probably a bit late telling you now that you’re hubs are all back together 😂 I’ll message ya on Insta 👍🏼

[@joelfrancis5391]

Gettin me a grease needle. Thats xlnt. Made it to end haha. 👍

Good tool to have mate. Cheers

Hey man, where did ya get your roof rack from?

[@DanielKistler]

Hey mate it’s an ocam (I think) roof rack. Got it somewhere in Melbourne but can’t quite remember

[@tcmonster]

Just got a grease needle. Nice tip! Also loving the vid length. Always watching till the end haha

[@DanielKistler]

It’s a good tool to have haha! Thanks mate. I try keep the to around 15-20 minutes. Some of the driving ones tend to be a bit longer. Cheers

[@glennvigar3154]

Love the vids Daniel, always watch them to the end. In your next suspension vid, can you show which way you run the seal on the back of the brake hub. cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate! Are you talking about the hub seals? On top of the back wheel bearing? If so, the seal has 2 sides, one has a single lip and one has a double lip. Put the seal in so you can see the double lip, double lip facing out. Cheers

[@glennvigar3154]

@@DanielKistler yeah mate thats the one. Just thought it be a good one to show as it like the pan hard washer, dudes always get it back to front.

Good to see a no nonsense DIY mate . Straight to the point with a few handy hints chucked in . I’m about to do the same on my 03 GU TB48 so I really appreciate seeing it done . Any idea on on the tension figures with bracing the diff housing down before welding the tube bracing to prevent turning my diff into a banana and will I need to do similar for the pumpkin brace ? When are you guys heading up to QLD for a trip . Be good to see you guys at glasshouse

[@DanielKistler]

Thanks mate! Nah no idea to be honest haha. Just a little bit of tension in the opposite direction it will pull seemed to work sweet! I didn’t brace the housing when I welded the pumpkin plate on! Cheers

[@DanielKistler]

Also, I’d absolutely love to get up to glasshouse haha. It’s on the list mate!
