done a full right up check about 5-6 pages in.. actually check further than that.. these types of threads push it further and further into the index... try WHEEL BEARINGS in your search. NT vs WT, been answered in HEAPS of detail many a times... pics of whats required, tools part numbers, torque specs.. Everything! just need to search..

FWIW, i found out by researching..

Look for www.suzi-info.com or something like that in the bible. It has links to full workshop manuals which is what I used when doing my wheel bearings. At the very least, claw hamme, greese, oil, wheel brace, jack stands and a big ass socket.

Bible Search... Well the first step is all you'll need to follow and the very last bit but you'll get most of the info from there.

Nah the big ass socket (I think about 50mm it escapes atm) is to fit the axle seal back in on the rear (only done the rear myself) nice and flush.

Oh and they're easy to get from my work :D

50 mm socket to do the front bearings.

if grpabt1 can get 1 for you and post it you'll be laughing, i had to wait for 2 weeks to get 1 in canberra and it is not quite deep enough. every place i went stocked 48,52,54 mm and couldn't get a 50 mm hub socket

I got my 3/4 drive 50mm socket and 3/4 breaker bar from Repco.
The socket was $25 and the bar was $35. Both were in stock.

make sure you put the drum brake backing plate before pressing on the bearing :oops: (you only make mistakes like that once)

do you guys have any tips for putting the locking collar on in a NT without a press?

last time after bashing and bashing for about an hour my neighbour informed me that he had a hydraulic press and presto done. only problem is its not big enough to do the long driveshaft sides.

Put your axles in the freezer and leave them there overnight, they will shrink.
Put the collar in the oven for about half an hour or so, it will expand.

Should make the job quite a bit easier. :D

Don't oven the collar to hot though it may permanently warp it. In theory it should work though.

If you "split" the old collar you can use it to help drive the new one on.

I used an old brake drum (still bolted to a rim) to use as a base for the axle and star picket installer.

Pop the backing plate etc all together put the collar on and then the old collar as well ... and tap resonably hard for a bit.
