Hiya guys.
Just wondering if anyone has the part number for the front swivel hub kits,and if the bearings are included or I need to buy them seperately?
Also is one brand better than the other.
Im going to do a fluid change too,and im not sure what grade to use..15w40?
Thanks

Re: swivel hub kit part numbers needed

cheers guys.
Sorry,its a y60 saf.
Strange thing is ive had the typical safari death wobbles at 95kph for over a year,biff on some secondhand unbalanced tyres and the wobble is totally gone....strange or what!
Also,is there an OBD tool for use on a safari,a consult programe is what im after?
Also,just noticed that my brakes are a little sad,and when i pump the pedal while the truck is running,the handbrake light comes on,fluid level is fine...no leaks anywheres so im stumped there?
On the same topic,with the key off I push the brake pedal and can just hear a tone,like the headlights on noise,but very very faint.....not too sure what that would mean?
Does anyone know a good wrecker,as I need the big barndoor hinges,mine are flogged out.
Cheers guys

Check your vacuum hoses for the brake issue, is it auto or manual?

Re: swivel hub kit part numbers needed
Hey mate, I just did mine.
Y60 GQ Patrol Front Swivel Hub Rebuilt kit - SH13
That's the part number from Terrain Tamer. I bought mine from BNT @ $250ish with a trade discount. Appco (Repco) could do the kit for about $300 and 4WDbits for $350. Just ring around a few places and get quotes and ask for their best price. Nissan doesn't do a kit but they do all the parts individually. I was going to get the guy to price it up but I just brought the kit in the end. The kit has everything from the inner axle seal outward including the kingpin bearings and races.
Oil wise it takes 5.4 litres of API GL-5 (SAE 85W140 or similar) Its a thick gear oil and stinks like most gear oils do. If you can get hold of a suction gun it makes it a lot easier to replenish.
The job itself is fairly easy. I got both mine redone with the assistance of a mate in 5 hours including a tool run to the shops because I didn't have a puller. NB: The easiest way to remove the kingpin bearings is using a jaw puller. Only other thing that is slightly difficult is getting the LH half shaft back in (the longer one), making sure your knuckle flange is straight makes it about 1000x easier. Just remember to remove the filler plug BEFORE the drain plug.
I've got the Nissan workshop manual with the directions if you want me to email it to you.
Hope this helps,
Tomo.
