Nice vid,but for the bearings install try to freeze the outer jacket of the bearing and get the install place hot like this it will go so much easier, belive me no more hammers👍
Help me understand here please, do those kingpin bearings need to be shimmed to correct preload? Is that black paint on the brake rotors? Enjoyed the video, just confused on those two points mentioned.
Yeah they need to be, I haven't done it as it needs to be pulled apart again in the near future. I am replacing the grease with molly grease and my tool for tighten the wheel bearings has finaly arrived so I will be doing a part 2 you could say, in up coming videos 👌 The brake discs come black like that from RDA.
@@AlongTheWayDownunder Ah sweet thanks for answering that. I didn't know you could get black rotors, I just fitted new DBA fronts to my GU wagon. I need to do my kingpin bearings and shims because everything else been replaced and still have a steering wobble between 60 and 80kph.
Yeah neither did I, they looked cool being black so I bought them to see how they go. Check your panhard bushes as well? Can be the cause of death wobbles too. Also some need shims some don't too so could need a little adjustment 👌
@@AlongTheWayDownunder yeah cheers. Panhard rod bushes all good. Absolutely everything has been done except kingpin bearings in my front end. Spent thousands on it for stuff that needed doing anyway but to also try and eliminate the wobble. Some mechanic even told me the cheap dynamic steel wheels I had on it weren't perfect and that's the cause along with badly worn tyres so once I needed new tyres I lashed out on new alloy wheels for it and problem still there 😔
Hey mate I’m having trouble when installing free wheeling hub, the wheel should stop spinning when locked? Mine does not do that any info would be sweet cheers
Hey mate yeah I do, I was going to touch on it in a later video now that I have the wheel bearing tool to tighten properly. Manual says, 167-196nm then spin wheel both directions Back it off completely. Then tighten to 3-5 NM. Spin again both directions. Do it twice. Then tighten back up to 167-196nm 🤙 good luck mate
Love the video! Great breakdown! Just wondering, is there another way to insert the outer rings for the top and bottom cap bearings besides tapping them in with a hammer?
Thanks mate! Really appreciate it! The workshop manual says to use a tubular drift, but they can be very expensive to buy as they usually come in kits. A hammer is probably the easiest and cheapest option if you have good aim with it. Or you Could use a socket the same size as the bearing cup with a sacrificial extension bit to hammer in.
@@AlongTheWayDownunder Might sound weird but could you chuck the tight parts into ice before installation? A miniscule amount of shrinkage to prevent any damage that tapping could cause
Mate, Absolutely chuck the caps into the freezer for 1 hour. When I installed my shells, I basically hand pressed them in, and tapped with a hammer with a piece of aluminium between the hammer and the race shell. (Aluminium is softer therefore it wont damage your bearings) (Freezing the caps will slightly shrink them making the fitting a lot easier)
*Liquid nitrogen (Freezer if you can't get your hands on any liquid nitrogen) * Heat up the housing with a propane torch or oxy what ever you prefer of know how to handle better. When installed give it a slight tap with a hammer and bearing punch. you'll hear a sound like hitting an anvil with a hammer and you'll know it's seated. This is just for piece of mind to know it's home. This is how I used to do wheel bearings, final drives, transfer boxes on lager machinery and small projects.
Hey mate might have missed it but how did you get the king pin bearings off the old spindle? Nice vid mate enjoyed watching although it was painful seeing you install wheel bearing lock nut with a screw driver! My kit came with the tool so now i have 2. might just throw one in the car for road side repairs i guess.
Hey mate, I have another episode of stripping down the diff, a few episodes back if you're keen to watch. And yes I havent torqued them up to spec yet as I bought my wheel bearing tool with my PSR suspension 4 and a half months ago, still hasnt turned up yet..... I will be pulling it apart the torquing it to spec in the finaly assembly video, plus I need more weight on the diffs to torque them. Almost lost the diff off the table trying to haha. Thanks mate 🤙
id be more worried about the cv,s , studs, diff knuckle shting,,as they do.. cv,s are sht.. plus the diff housing narrows,,what the fk is that.??.. weak spot..
There are books for that , like Nissan patrol workshop book ( you don't get it with car ) , hard copy or pdf , if you notice in the video i believe he had the book open near to him
Awsome video champ, what greese you using for the axel and king pin bearings? Oh found out to use molly on axle and bearings / housing....:) What is the torque on the kingpin bolts?
Looks so nice working with all those nice clean parts
Great vid man!! Just stumbled across the channel!! Keen to watch a heap more.
Thanks mate! More is coming !!
@@AlongTheWayDownunder cool man I’m at a similar point in the build. My last vid was welding on the rear diff brace kit.
Ill give it a watch and a follow mate 🤙🤙
doing an Awesome job mate, keep up the good work!
Thanks mate🤙🤙
Nice vid,but for the bearings install try to freeze the outer jacket of the bearing and get the install place hot like this it will go so much easier, belive me no more hammers👍
Thanks Mate! Cheers dude ill keep that in mind for the next set, or maybe the next build 😉
Thanks again!🤙
if you had a dana 44, or dana 60,, you would,nt have to do all that 1950,s sht. d44 will handle 35,s no probs.. d60 , 42,s..@@AlongTheWayDownunder
Should be using moly grease for the cv's and inside the swivel hub assembly.
Good pick up, ill pull it apart again in the final check list before I drive it 🤙🤙
What a great soundtrack
Awesome video man
Thanks Legend!
Nylon hammer would be a good investment for you. Nice work though!
Indeed a good investment, I have one now 😜 thanks mate 🤙
Nice work , thanks ,
Cloud you please give me the link for the book ? I think you have hardcopy , which i like more than pdf ,, thanks again
Good video mate just curious on what workshop manual you where using, may have to pick one up
Bloody ledgend
How did you do the shims? Did you have a force/spring tension gauge to set the pre-load on the kingpins?
Do u remember what black paint you used? It looks
Mint
Metal cover Paint from.supercheap auto

What is the benefit to swivel hubs like in this car and g wagon?
its old tech.. uni,s are better.. stronger.. but now you can get RCV,s. 1100$, per side..
did you happen to have all the torque settings saved somewhere?
just about to do mine
thanks

Is the GQ patrol front axle beefier than an 80series axle ?

Hello, is the interior of the swivel hub been painted? Is it safe to do this with a rust prevention paint?
It will be fine if something is rubbing on the inside of the swivel hub housing to disturb the paint, something has gone extremely wrong.

@@AlongTheWayDownunder I was going to say mate I'm impressed with your table as it didn't seem to be shaking around all that much 😂
You use bearing puller or separator to get kingpin bearings off spindle.
love the hardword
Suggestion: without music the video will more brilliant.
Claw hammer ???
Couldn't find the right tool at the time, so I improvised 🤗
what did you use to coat the diff ? all the other parts to haha !
Hey mate, watch episode 6, has the paint i used for the diff in it 👍
Question do you need a press or did you just use it because you had one ?
You can with out, just makes things alot easier. Woulld be hard work on the hammer with out one. Only a cheap 200 press does the trick
Go terrain tamer bearings they are much harder and will last longer than all other bearing kits
id be more worried about the cv,s , studs, diff knuckle shting,,as they do.. cv,s are sht.. plus the diff housing narrows,,what the fk is that.??.. weak spot..
Where did you get the spec for the nm ?
There are books for that , like Nissan patrol workshop book ( you don't get it with car ) , hard copy or pdf , if you notice in the video i believe he had the book open near to him
Awsome video champ, what greese you using for the axel and king pin bearings?
Oh found out to use molly on axle and bearings / housing....:)
What is the torque on the kingpin bolts?
Sweat vid bro...What did you coat the hub king pin housing with???
You should of used molly grease in cv
Thanks mate yeah I should have 😅🙄 ill fix it up in a later video 👍
My gq came with spindle plates/grease seals on the spindle. You did not install any, is this fine to do?
