GU Patrol Axle Rebuild Pt 2

Here's how I rebuilt the front axle on my GU patrol. In this video I will begin the rebuild of my GU Patrol Front Axle to change; King Pin bearings, Axle Seals, Swivel Hub Seals and Wheel Bearings.
This is a job that involves working on the brakes, suspension and steering, so if you are not experienced you should grab a mate who knows what they are doing to give you a hand.
This job is time consuming and requires a little know how to get it done properly. That's not to say a beginner could not achieve this, you just need to keep track of all your parts and follow these steps.
Part One goes through how to remove and disassemble the hubs.

I done plenty of cruiser swivel hubs, but never a patrol. Great 2 part video mate. Helped in a few spots!👍🎯🍻🇦🇺

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate glad you found it helpful 🤙🏻

[@neilkohler860]

Great stuff. Sound less daunting than i thought. Great

[@ReubsModifications]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@ibsn87]

Thanks for all the tips. Fantastic video... I’ve done this before but a bloody long time ago. By the look of the end of the video it’s time do your control arm bushes too haha 😅

[@ReubsModifications]

Haha definitely, they are extra castor bushes but they seem to be a little too squashed and I have changed the lift so will go back to factory bushes👍🏻

[@fulviof.9450]

Nice job, will be making the same on my Y61 in the next few months 👍

[@ReubsModifications]

Good luck! They are pretty easy once you lay out all the parts and get an idea on where everything goes 👍

[@mattbates7099]

Just a tip that's missed in the video - the manual says to torque the lock ring to 198nm before backing it off and then torquing to 3-5nm. This ensures that the wheel bearings are seated correctly.

[@ReubsModifications]

Great info mate, thanks for sharing I’ll remember to do that next time 👍🏻

[@bjorndecorte6846]

198Nm? Thanks for the info!

[@r4rekt671]

Please if you do tho. Have multiple bearing removal tools! I snapped my one on the loose and they nearly were stuck at 198nm! ​@ReubsModifications

[@GhostofZuuzGaming]

you made that needle bearing removal/replacement so easy. Ive always had trouble getting it out. Grinded down a metal punch with a lip to catch the end of the bearing race. But about to replace my stub axles with new bearings, i noticed you used a socket to drive down the needle bearing below the end of the stub axle end. My new replacement stub axle came preinstalled with needle bearing installed and it is flush with the end of the stub axle.

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate, I couldn’t find in my manual how far to seat the bearing so I sent it all the way home 😂

[@amafrancotravel2910]

Very helpful

[@ReubsModifications]

Glad you think so, always good to hear 👍

[@Dubhghaill]

I didn't see ya put cv grease on the cv joint, when I did mine year's ago I put heaps around the cv, but now it's time to do it all again, it was probably about 10 years ago and it's leaking on driver's side but I'LL be doing both again, one thing I didn't do but will do this time is clean and paint the back like you did, cheers , thanks for ya video mate 👍 Mine's a GQ ....

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks for the tip mate ill have to look into that if I end up doing it again. Appreciate the feedback 👍

[@bubbleobill2654]

Super helpful video! Is there a reason why you didn’t replace the races in the brake assembly?

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate 👍. The race in the brake disk is for the wheel bearings, I had a look at them and they looked like they were healthy and they also happen to be quite easy to replace if I wanted to do them later.

[@skitzz203]

Awesome and very helpful video mate, i was wondering how long did it take you to do 1? Mine is due for a change next weekend

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate, I did mine over a weekend but I was filming. I think that you'd be able to do it in a day if you had everything ready to go.

[@skitzz203]

@ReubsModifications awesome thanks mate! Again thank you for informative video. I have subscribed to watch more of your videos

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate appreciate your support👍🏼

[@TheGeorgecollier]

Where's the d22 sass build?

[@ReubsModifications]

Keeps getting put off, I do need to get back onto it though.

[@fulvioplozner7152]

I did this job yesterday. in Europe you have to put a lot more grease in the bearings! the climate is more humid

[@ReubsModifications]

Great tip 👍🏻

[@tobybarrett144]

What salient did you use on the spindle?

[@ReubsModifications]

I’m assuming you meant to type “sealant” I used blue RTV gasket maker, few different brands you can get but it shouldn’t really matter. As long as it can handle a little bit of heat any sealant should be in the right ballpark 👍🏻

[@youngym8823]

Hey mate, couldn’t you have just punched the whole needle bearing out like you did with the Race? Or nah Cheers

[@ReubsModifications]

I had to punch the needles and cage out so that I could get the weld onto the race to shrink it 👍

[@outlawdingo3020]

Another tip is if you get new main wheel bearings and it has a little flat disc with it, you bought a gq wheel bearing and that disc won’t allow your bearings to sit properly so throw it away

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks for the info mate, awesome to get some extra tips.

[@anonymity6876]

Awsome work. Great directions and info. Surgically done. 👍🤙😎🇦🇺🍻

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate awesome to hear that 🤙🏻

[@G1McK]

Awesome work, I'm about to rebuild the set of axles I have, these videos are helpful. When is part 7 of the axle swap coming?

[@ReubsModifications]

Awesome to hear mate I’ve been away for a couple weeks I’ll look at getting onto it in the next month 👍🏻

[@ryan42.]

Don’t ya have to set preload on the kingpin bearings or some shit

[@ReubsModifications]

If its in the Nissan manual then I must have missed it, unless you're talking about the kingpin shims. I breezed over them in this video but as long as you put them back where they came from and the knuckle moves freely it should be fine.

[@M.H.F23]

What is the parts number of the inner seal.

[@ReubsModifications]

Hey mate the OEM Nissan part is 40533-01J00 the Trail Safe Seals that I used are 303752-KIT on Superior Engineering.

[@toneless3182]

Great work

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks mate 😀

[@kynichols2477]

Hey mate, use high temp grease for all bearings, not cv grease, cause cv grease has molybdenum which is bad for bearings

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks for the info mate 👍🏻 I’ll remember that for next time

[@ReubsModifications]

Thanks for the info mate 👍🏻 I’ll remember that for next time
