Milners can supply the constituent parts but don't sell a full rebuild kit off the shelf, although I think Makeitfit was able to get them to put a kit together for him.
Japanese 4x4 parts sell a kit for £40 (one side) http://www.japanese4x4parts.co.uk/ni...005-6890-p.asp You can also try eBay |

So am I right in thinking that the oil leaking out is gearbox oil? Forgive my ignorance but I assumed what was leaking out was from the hub.

Like I said, there's no oil in the swivel hub, just a bit of grease on the CV joint. |

diff oil, of course! is this something worth tackling by a home mechanic or are there specialist tools required ie bearing press tools? BTW thanks for your advice on the hub kits. I was about to drop nearly double that price on a kit.

You can also take a screen shot of the picture and then attach it to a reply in the "go advanced " bit. David.

I think it can be done with normal tools, have never tried it myself but I think some of the other Y60/Y61 members have managed it. Check out patrol4x4.com and nissanpatrol.au forums (the Aussies love Trols) as there'll be more info on there. Like I said I was happy to let the garage do it as I'd heard from the Aussies that the axle seal was a bit of a barsteward! |
