GU front diff housing

[Big Red]

Back in 2013 i had a diff housing braced and in 2018 i reco'd it and fitted it... we continue >>>>>

5 years ago i had a brace kit fitted to a spare front diff so its about time i fitted it to MissRed.


first up was to replace the kingpin bearings and cups... i damaged the seals getting them out but as i didn't have new ones i refitted them after bending them back into shape.

all cleaned up ready to replace


they don't seal up completely anyway so should be ok


new cups in place

getting the old bearings off the caps was a real bugger ... tried all sorts of things but ended up grinding through as close as i dared then breaking them with a cold chisel

Heard good things about the Trail-Gear axle seals so i fitted them instead of the Nissan seals.

I fitted a 4.375:1 diff centre to better suit the 35"s I'm running at the moment
