100 Series Wheel Bearings

Footy,

That sounds like you'd be having the axle seals changed and swivel hubs regreased as well.

Dont know exactly but it is big as in not in the socket section of supercrap. It is a special tool and hangs behind the counter of the local Auto1 shop just go in to your auto parts store and ask for it

The locknut can be easily loosened by tapping the edge with a screwdriver and hammer. The diameter is about 55mm from memory - don't quote me on that.

You can either buy a special socket as Davoe has suggested, or make your own. To make your own, just remove the locknut and bend a piece of 3mm thick flat mild steel around it, and weld it up to be a socket. The locknut is never done up tight.

If you want aftermarket bearings, I bought the same complete set (Timken bearings) for under $40 a few months back. They were Terrain Tamer brand from Adelaide truck and 4wd Spares.

Cheers
Phil

Nuboy,
All the above replies also refer to the Rigid Front End Cruisers. You didn't state whether yours is IFS or rigid front end

The easiest place for a manual is probably the dealers, or you could try e-bay.

On parts, give Craig a call at United Parts International in Maddington (phone 93586878). His prices are good and he's pretty straight with advice. He helped me out a lot with my old HJ47, and from what I can gather the 100 series are his bread and butter.

Don't forget labour costs are around $100/hour at the dealers, $60-$80/hr elsewhere. The actual parts themselves are a small component of the cost, so if you're prepared to do it yourself then you'll save plenty.

If you just want the service book so you can get it stamped when serviced - they are available from the dealer and have a spare parts no
If you want it so you know what to service then buy the gregorys manuel It will give you all the how too and also provide all the info on what needs chamging at what interval.
My best tip is buy a 15/16 socket for doing your diff and gearbox oils and make sure you can undo the filler plugs before draining the oil

Nuboy,

If you start calling it a 105series, people will know exactly what vehicle you have. All the 105series have a rigid front end, while the actual 100series is IFS.

I presume yours is a 1Hz diesel - I've always found the Gregorys manuals better than the others.

the LCOOL site will have a lot of useful stuff for DIY servicing:
